Fe-Wood Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 I was slot cutting a bunch of material today, then drawing out tapers, then slot cutting another hole all on the same pieces. When all of a sudden, puff. The ram stuck... Ok, pop the top and pound the ram down so its free again, close it up and back at it... 2 parts later, pufff. Rams stuck again. OK something is wrong here.... Pull the top and, nope can't pound the ram free this time. Ok, take apart the bottom guide. Ah Ha! A piece of something sticking out of the gib, looks like a bit of cotter pin. Work it loose and low and behold it is one of the slugs from the first round of slot cutting. How it got up in the gib I don't know. Good thing it didn't cause any damage. Ever have that happen? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
