Default Brake Pressure Bleeder

I have had a pressure bleeder for a while now and it works great.

My question is:
With a completely new break system (lines, hoses, p valve, calipers, MC, ect), do you have to bench bleed the MC or will the pressure bleeder force all the air out of it for me?

I have always bench bled them anyway, but this coud save some time in the future.

I just did my car, new M/C, lines from front to back and rebuilt the front brake calipers. I used the pressure bleeder without bench bleeding the M/C and it worked perfectly. No problems.

Bill is right. I always use a power bleeder and never bench bleed the master. Perfect every time.

Where does one get a pressure bleeded - what do they look like, and what might be the cost?
Thanks

Default I made one of these for about 20 bucks...

I use an aluminum plate and a large clamp with a piece of rubber as a gasket...works well on our cast iron master cylinders.
