kcobean Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 I've got my 650 running pretty smoothly, but the one thing that's still causing a lot of friction is the slide assembly that pulls the case feed cam back to receive the case coming out of the feeder drop. If I hold the cam back with my hand, the ram itself runs very smoothly in the body of the press, so I know that all of the friction on the lever downstroke is in the cam/slide assembly. The nylon slide that pushes against the casefeed tube to run the cam back is starting to get a groove in it from the friction. Is it time to replace it, or am I missing something else?

Steel Tammer Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Something sounds like it's out of line or to tight.. I have had my nylon slide go out of alignment that caused the press to become hard. Also I know this is not your issue but the center bolt on the carrier plate, if it is put to tight it will make the press hard to function.

Too_Slow Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 (edited) Put a touch of grease on it and it will slide easier (where the post hits the slider). Brian Edited April 24, 2012 by Too_Slow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarge Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 Put a touch of grease on it and it will slide easier (where the post hits the slider). Brian Bingo. It comes from the factory greased for a reason. When mine starts to bog down I grease that and the indexing wedge gizmo and it loosens right back up.

BullyDog Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 I had the same problem on mine, and grease or oil wouldn't fix. Found that the locknuts on the handle assembly where a bit too tight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
