Sounds like that Autodrive causes a whole bunch of stress that eventually causes all of the presses to bend. Props to Mark 7 for detecting this, and coming up with a fix.
The press core itself will not bend. Yes, however toolhead "flex" is sometimes causes by applying high amounts of force on the toolhead sometimes causing small deviations in loads. You will see this more in larger rifle rounds than you will pistol. This bolt makes the toolhead more rigid on its mounting point on the center ram. Making the deviation little to nothing.
Well, now I know what this actually does. I thought it was primarily to aid in removing the toolhead (jack bolt...). I'm assuming pistol calibers (38 SuperComp) aren't heavy loads on the tool head. I haven't noticed mine flexing at all.

That's why Mark7 is a step above all other press... They innovate and improve whereas others rely on marketing and fab boyism~
What’s about the centre bolt?? Hand-tight or is it also tightened with a torque wrench... unfortunately you can't see that on the video🤷♂

Did this with the auto drive and now my press is out of function
