Ralph:

I would imagine if you included the weight of the slider plate, and top die with mounting plate, the weight of the head would be something like 62 pounds.

>         Phil, The original plans call for a 2" cylinder with a 10" stroke.
> I'm going to try  using a 2 1/2" cylinder with 20" stroke next round.
>         The ram the Kinyon plans call for is a 50 lb block of steel.
>         Some 2" cylinders have 1/4"NPT ports.  Cylinders with 3/8" NPT ports
> will yeild more beats per minute (with the proper valve).
