Members pruettjr Posted July 6, 2020 Members Report Posted July 6, 2020 This is my first post and hope I’m doing it right. I removed the 2 teeth from the ram like a lot of YouTube videos suggest. The issue I have is the ram wobbles like crazy. The ram action is not smooth at all. Could removing the 2 teeth on this press be harmful? If so where can I get a good replacement ram? Thanks for your help...Joe Quote

Members pruettjr Posted July 8, 2020 Author Members Report Posted July 8, 2020 (edited) Thanks for responding. Haven’t really done anything special. I added set screw to ram and filed off two teeth. Removed wheel and added collar to left side press. Added longer handle. Is there supposed to be a spring like plate behind the ram face plate. The manual doesn’t show one. Thanks for your help...Joe Edited July 8, 2020 by Northmount Rotated Photos Quote

Need to tighten enough to remove the slop, but not so much to lock the ram making it difficult to move the ram. Tom Quote
