[QUOTE="Bob Wright, post: 2860255, member: 104363"] Both bolts are in single shear, so the toggle reacts by flexing in that failure area. Probably cast iron construction so it isn't flexing much before breaking. A plate stock replacement and machined to replicate the toggle would help, but still in single shear, so the bolts would take the brunt. Bad design. By the time you rebuilt it, it would be better money to buy a different press. [/QUOTE]
