I use a 60 ton OTC track press and it would do 350's easily, in fact the 30 OTC is listed as capable of doing 350 rails. I tried to make a homemade press once, trust me, save your time and medical bills and take them to a professional track shop to have them done. Check on your prices though, you can buy new 350 rails for about double what you can rebush your old ones, so if you have much rail wear, it may not be worth it. Here are the specs if you want to check for sure. New link height is 3.19", 100% worn is 3.00". Pitch measured across 4 links, with track tight is 23.03", 100% worn is 23.51". The other thing you may not be considering, is that turning the pins and bushings does nothing to eliminate "snake" in a track. It will be just as loose after turning as before, just shorter. At the price of 350 pins and bushings, I personally feel it is foolish to turn your pins and bushings, just replace them. If your rails are really worn, replace them. Lavoy
