Thanks Steve, The valve block that I made is a little larger then but not much. The ports are just under 1/8 and the cresents are 1/8 because that was the smallest cutter I had. I would love to see what the Meinhardt valves look like on the inside that seem to be in a lot of the German machines. Flow was the main reason that my Father inlaw and I designed the valve he made for me so large but I guess the inside of the fittings are so small that maybe it isn't necessary? I use 5/32-10/32 push to connect fittings on the valve and rams. I did drill one out so that the ID of the fitting matched that of the hose and it still looks to be strong so I will drill the rest out and see if it makes a difference in flow or speed.
Thanks again for the help! I'll keep tryin! I have a lot more time and patience than money so I have to figure it out the hard way
