The person who has the press is a cyclist and builds steel trusses for stage lighting.
We will discuss the placement and size of the holes.
The heaviest weight\duty is my bars and stem.
Nobody breaks the ends of the bars, the stress isn't there, it's @ the stem clamp. The bars are say 5mm wall. They don't flex, they won't break -ever.
Few holes, maybe up to 1/3 of the metal removed under lock-on grips.
