If you had 14 bar to the puck it would blow out and make an awful shot.. If you’re getting good shots then pressure is ‘in the ballpark.’
I can’t understand why pressure would continue to rise. Perhaps there is a constriction that prevents pressure from registering quickly? I guess this is a plumbed in rotary machine? I’ve never worked on one.
