Alot of cutting and creasing in the UK seems to be done on Heidlebergs - I haven’t got one of those, so my question is this: does any one use their Vandercook for cutting and/or creasing and if so what do you use?
For cutting I assume you would pack/protect the cylinder from the die with [...]
Does anyone know where to find galley magnets? Here are a couple of photographs of one magnet that I have, which is very handy, and I’d like to get my hands on some more of these.

In the Vandercook sp-15 manual it states the press should be set on synthetic rubber pads - with packing in order to correct any unevenness. Does anyone use these pads, if so what are they like - their depth for example - I can envisage something like a mouse mat.

Thanks,

I finally have found a side guide for the last of the seven Vandercooks here at The Arm, but it appears to be missing some pieces. I am not very familiar with this style of side guide so can anyone tell me (or show me) what it is that I am missing? I [...]
I am on the lookout for a sheet delivery tray. I am not in a rush, but if one of you comes across a stray or extra, please let me know.
Thank you.

Universal I’s [and other v-cooks?] have an optional dust cover which is, because of the design, often broken. They seem to break at the same point – the transition from dust cover to attachment tab. I believe that the dust cover should have been made without the cutout in the center, which would have [...]
I have two Vandercook Universal III toggle plate bases with all the toggles and tools and was wondering if I’d be able to use them with photopolymer plates. It seems to me that with metal backed photopolymer plates they might work were it not for the fact that the toggles themselves would print. Are the [...]

What is the component you see sticking up on the back corner of the paper feed board? I never see it on any of the posted photos. This image is of an SP-15.
