work space setup
*operator station should be to the side of the pressing machine with some shielding in case a bar should shatter while press bending.
*track repository should be to the other side of the press machine, for ease of ejection and clear work space.
steps of workflow
#set bar in press parting line vertical to increase smoothness of the pressing.  Bar should be in both front and back notches.
#flip hydraulics while stepping to operator station
#give press a 2-3 extra pushes until the die doesn't move down any more.
#pull press back to highest point
#grab the next blank and use it to knock the pressed tread out of the mold (the tread may have some spring force when it becomes unstuck, putting one hand on the tread while hitting it should prevent the tread from flying odd places)
#throw the bent track onto the finished pile and load the blank into the machine
#repeat
