That was quick, Many Thanks

Made a little more progress.
Bottom ram pivot. This will get some bracing around it before we're done.
This is where it will live...probably.
Top ram pivot. Tacked into place, ready for a quick test.

First try. Quick pump up. With the ram at full extension, the PM arms will still be on the safe side of vertical.Saves me having to build some kind of dead-stop in. In this position the table height will be approx. 760mm . About right, then.
Tried the other PM arm, but because of the revised design it's cross brace fouls the ram body. There may be a way round it, if not I'll cut it out and carry on.

Top Frame. This will get plated over, obviously.
All together. Clamped up, just to test the geometry and clearances. One or two minor tweaks needed, but it all seems to work.
Top ram pivot. Time to bite the bullet, and start replacing some of the tack welds with the real thing. Hope none of it needs changing now.
So that's where it stands at the moment.
It's -7C in my shop tonight. Had enough of welding with numb fingers for now.

Looking at the design of the piston anchor on your frame and wondering if it would be better welded on the inner surface of the cross member so that the strain is taken by the cross member and the side plates instead of the just the welding of the side plates. Just a thought! :coffee:
