My 73" pacemaker was pretty well worn when I got it but the worst was the the compound it looked like it had been used hard and sat in coolant and it just rusted away. But anyways it's always difficult to cut good tapers with it. A while ago i just machined it a little but didnt touch the dovetails and I probably only removed 10 thou from the flats of the female dovetail and same from the top of the male and it's still pretty bad.
So can anybody help instruct me on how to remachine the thing because I really have no experience in this and I might just screw it up worse. I may scrape it but I don't know how and neither do I have a surface plate but I do have the other stuff and could probably whip up a copy of a Anderson scraper as I have a bunch like several pounds of random carbide blanks. But I mostly want to learn how to machine it on the mill I think I can probably find the scraping info otherwise but if you would like to pitch in any help is appreciated.
I will add photos when I can.
So can anybody give me a guide on how I should go about this? I have a excello knee mill.
The top of this surface also got cut
The blued surface got cut
