[QUOTE="SemperFiSawguy, post: 8192663, member: 166181"] In all honesty? All i really ended up using was the pump, the valves and the main frame. I basically cut off and reworked almost everything. And i am going too have too it looks like replace the whole pushplate assembly as on really nasty stuff the slide guides are worn enough where it twists and snaps the measly 1/2 bolts off clean. Im going to machine some pieces out of 2 inch bar stock on my mill for the slide guides and then use a 3/4inch 9"x12" main plate for the lower slide and transfer my pushplate onto that new slide assembly. That should solve that. The assembly as it exists now seems to just be too loose and floppy and can turn too much on white oak. Ive sheared the bolts off twice. Even after added another bolt too each side. 1/2 bolts just arent enough to counteract that much shear force. [/QUOTE]
