Can anyone recall how much overhang the rockchucker press requires? Is it less than 1". Thanks.

Just built a new bench that has 1" oak board on top and 2x4 frame. I had to notch the bottom of the 2X4 frame about an inch to enable the ram to raise fully on the upstroke. I have an RCII.
If your top is flush with the sides then you have the same problem that I do. The top needs to sick out so far, like a counter top, and that's the distance I'm trying to figure out. As mentioned before I'm going to build a new top and don't have a press handy to measure it.

I mounted the Rockchucker on a board bolted down with a little overhang.
The overhang is 1.25" and the nut on the end of the handle at the toggle just clears. A 1 1/8" overhang would be the minimum for my 1971 Rockchucker.
