How often do you grease your ram?

[nammac]

I greased mine several times a day in my early teens....

You'll go blind doing that!

Could you type bigger next time? I'm having trouble seeing your post

Is moly or moly-graph better? For a small single stage bench press?

I find a good tacky lube is best. Don't want it leaving you dry right when the stroke is hardest. And I would know, I'm a small guy in a protracted single stage

I know I'm getting old but when did we stop doing that at raves and start using it in our presses, maybe I'll give my press a good light show next time.

I prefer something less tacky and with less gravity, as I've found that it makes for a better action with each stroke. You can also put a little more grip into it when you've really got to push that ram hard for that big finish. Than just sit back and admire the work.

Well, I'm ready for a cigarette now and I quit smoking some 35 years ago…

This is why I always keep my ankles covered up.

No comment.

I too was going to make this comment but I figured I would be out of character if I didn't expound on it a bit.

Sorry if I pushed the limits on this thread… Oh, who am I kidding, no I'm not.

Back on semi-point.

The Summit does the seating, a couple of weeks ago it was really dragging. Gave it a couple of shots of prescribed lucas-oil red n' tacky. Perhaps a bit too much in fact.
Stiff is the the proper term here, had to throw a rag away.
Too much of a good thing------isn't always that.

Thank you all for the case of the giggles this evening!

I don't generally use grease on my single stage, but I do put a little heavy machine oil on it and let it seep down through the base before a sizing session. Every 2-3 weeks anyway. I think I tried grease at first and I could notice the difference in handle effort. Just what I do

To be fair we all stayed on topic, we just chose our words in a very eccentric manner.
Glad we made you laugh, and don't forget, happiness comes from a well lubed ram.

I tried that exact same thing with my first ex wife.....it didn't work. More tips and tricks would be greatly appreciated
