Loadmaster crank slider

I just got around to doing this for the crank slider on Loadmaster number 2. It worked great on #1 to take out some of the jerkiness so I expect the same results with this press.

What it does is spread out the load over a wider area to eliminate bind on the rod. It just takes a small piece of aluminum and some epoxy. The pictures pretty well show how it goes together.

The last part to smooth this operation out. Piece of wire to steady the 1/4" square rod. I don't know if it will fit with the priming mechanism in place, I don't prime on the press.

This press is really smooth to operate now. Nothing jumps and shakes!
