Nelson,
Thanks for the input, but I got her going :) Now I have to add the Ratchet Assm,, & start planing the work table.
Thanks again,
Brian

Then inspect the inside of your shaper and find what the hold up is. You must find the two points that meet and bind up. If you added small amounts it should not have that much bearing. If you take your links loose will the ram slide both directions without stopping?

I am just about ready to plan the work table, but when I set the Ram for its longest stroke I get about a 3/4 turn and it jams just as soon as it hits the forward stroke. The jam is not cause by the slide block in the Yoke, because when I take the ram/clamp off it moves just fine. I am thinking that it is jamming somewhere between the Ram Clamp & the Yoke. The plans call for the 2 Links that join the Yoke to the Ram Clamp (pg. 65) to be 2-1/8" long. I made mine 2-1/4" long (did not realize I did this until I took it apart). So are these links to long, or should I make them a little longer? I have rounded the ends of both the Yoke & Ram Clamp as much as I dare thinking that they may be hitting, but that did not help. So any ideas PLEASE!!!!
