Ram clamp handle

[dallen]

here's a shot of the new cast iron handle that I poured yesterday, it has some imperfections but will work, I had some alignment issues with the mold when I closed it up, I should be able to blend in most of them. I used an embossing label tape maker to put my name on the handle with, the print isn't the best but with what I had to make the tape with it works for me as the name will be there long after I'm gone or someone decides to grind it off.

Now I need to make a cast iron washer to put under the handle so that I can get the handle clocked into a decent position on the operators side of the machine.
