The steps in '''Mechanical Fabrication''' and '''Electronic Components''' are independent of each other, but within each category, the suggested order should be followed. Once you finish both, you can continue on to '''Final Machine Integration'''. At that point, your machine can be used.

THIS PAGE IS FOR THE CEB PRESS


This page gives you all the information you need to make your CEB Press from stock steel and parts. The steps in Mechanical Fabrication and Electronic Components are independent of each other, but within each category, the suggested order should be followed. Once you finish both, you can continue on to Final Machine Integration. At that point, your machine can be used.
