[bjhnor]

Hei all.
I might by a Ryobi 512. Is there some kind people here who has experience with this
machine. Is it an ok machine or is it something I need to now.
I wonder also if it is any differense/modefies during the years they made it or is it not
importent what year it is made.
I really appreciate some answers from you out there.

I ran a 512H for a spell...it was a fairly easy little press to run, got along at a reasonable speed, and was absolutely perfect for what we used it for... ie; 2 col bus cards, LH etc. We ran a fair bit of 2 pass 4col work on it, and had no issues with registration, but be aware that its imperitive to keep the lays square, as twisting them to square up a job can promote the odd front lay bounce.

In my experience, we found that they prefer OEM rollers, and whilst we ran a Bottcherim inking train, the water from and metering rollers would not play the game without ryobi rollers. They are also fairly sensitive to chemistry, but we were running plastic plates as opposed to metal, and alco free too.

The only other issue i can remember it giving us was the metering roller speed control crapped out a couple of times, requiring immediate replacement.

Other than that, keep them well maintained, and providing that it has been looked after by previous owners, it should be a good productive little unit.
