Hi,
I need to remove the ram from my machine,
To clean and assess wear. Another forum
Member had done this the smart way, using the table
But I’ve already removed the table and saddle.
If I crank the ram as far forward or backward
As the rack and pinion take it, it still remains
Very hard to move even trying to support it with an
Engine hoist.
The gibs unfortunately screw downwards so cannot be
Removed until the ram is off it seems.
I have the motor off already, and the cutterhead, so
Maybe the ram weights 600lbs?
If anyone has suggestions?
Otherwise I can put the table back on but was trying to
Avoid that because I also need the knee off ultimately.
Thanks!
Phil
