I have made caps from square metal tubing that fit over the end of the ram and are held in place with a set screw that I tapped in the front of the ram. On these caps I have silver soldered the various sizes of weight punches and when the need arises I will make an appropiate ram cap for capstans. After thinking about it I can 'probably' make a riser to set the press on and use it for backchecks also...we'll have to see about that. :-) Jim Bryant (FL)
