When a car rounds a corner it is pulling on those upper links, never pushing in. So now you see why current setup stations have limited value. I gave up on my hudy station long ago after seeing this problem and developed one that addresses it. You hear that Joey? You and your multitude of vertical machining centers you.
Yes I hear you.

Come by the shop tomorrow, we can talk then. 3:30 ok?
