Not sure why I am having trouble loading pics..The site becomes unresponsive on every other file I try to load.
Where do you get those nylon wearing pads? Everyone is absolutely correct about the grease....I just degreased and pressure washed my beam and pushplate.... I am soo tired to of grease on my pants from the edge of the beam.Nylon bearing pads FTW.

a plastics manufacturer/fabricator/supplier, or an industrial supply company (McMaster Carr, MSC, Grainger)... "UHMW" is probably most common for this type of application, but "Delrin" (Acetal) is also a good choiceWhere do you get those nylon wearing pads?

You might show a larger area so people get a better idea of what your working with. I would not be concerned about the fasteners on the ram collar as they only need to provide enough tension to keep the push plate attached to the rod on the return stroke.Cheap chi-com bolts, snap at the threads, threaded into base plate not a pass through assembly , hold the L shaped push plate guides in place. 10" high plate. It would be better if the base plate was wider to afford a pass through clamping action but it was what I had on hand at the time. 2 bolts hold push plate assembly to ram collar so it would be simple to fab a new assembly, maybe next winter to busy to mess with it now. Changed 1/2" to 5/8" problem resolved root dia of 1/2" x12 tpi bolts just to small for stress factor in this assembly. Mounting the ram higher would also reduce the torque from a large twisted fiber piece. That leads to other stress factors though. always trade offs. Nice straight stuff really doesn't cause much of a stress problem, don't see much of that though.
