Well even though it’s midnight, I had to go look. A file cuts into it pretty easy.
The ones on my 16 inch are 3 inches wide by 1 inch thick at the side that holds the ram down. Where it bolts to the machine it looks to be about 7/8 ths. I’f you want better measurements i’ll Do it tomorrow. It has 4 oilers per side.

Ron, Are they (gib plates) both the same width? It seems like the one with the gib would be wider? Also what is the distance between the ram and gib plate on the non way side.
Hey mm I just came into the house. I’ll do some measuring it for you tomorrow .i can take them off to get you a good measurement. I had to take them off once .
Mine have what I would call precision shims under them. Cut the heads off some bolts and slot them for a screwdriver when putting together. Keeps the shims in place.
If anyone wants to know why I had the holdowns off i’ll Start another post, it’s a good story.
Thanks ron
