Re: [gingery_machines] Re: Shaper Question (Help)

 

Hi Brian
I think you need to use lights and mirrors or mark your parts with sharpie and
then watch the action work to see where it is hanging up- look for sharpie that
has been removed and that should be the conatact areas.

I dont recall what I had to do, but I had to do some tweaking on mine to get the
full stroke with no interference.. I think I radiused some of the linkage and
pivots to gain clearance.

Regards
Bradley

Nelson,
Thanks for the input. So you are saying that the 2 links joining the Ram Clamp &
Yoke are to long? (I did make them 1/8" to long).
Thanks,
Brian
