Setting stroke on Douglas Shaper

[f350ca]

Shawn, I think my Logan is set up the same. You hand crank it to the maximum forward of the stroke. The reading off that pointer is your stroke length. On the logan you unlock a nut on the crank pin and pull or push the ram to the stroke length you want. (at maximum forward stroke the slot the crank pin runs in is horizontal). Lock the crank pin, then unlock the lever on top of the ram and position your stroke.
Hope that makes some sense.
