Since I started my RV-10 empennage, I've been using a "tandem" (6000 lb.) pneumatic squeezer that I picked up off ebay about a year ago.
I'd really like an adjustable set to save time putting washers on and off. The generally accepted reason the adjustable sets for use in the single-cylinder cp214 squeezers won't work in the tandem squeezers is because the threads will be stripped from the extra force.
I'm wondering... Has anyone ever tried putting their adjustable set holder in a tandem squeezer? I'm not concerned about the threads, since Bob Avery was able to find me an adjustable set with beefy threads. I'm just wondering if it should FIT in the squeezer.
The set doesn't fit in my tandem squeezer and I'm wondering if:
a.) I have an "oddball" squeezer, or
b.) The set is only designed to fit in the single-cylinder squeezer
Either way, I'm probably just going to buy a single-cylinder squeezer. It would just be nice to know if there's something that I'm missing that might explain why the set doesn't fit down into the squeezer.
Thanks!
