Hi folk
I'm sure a good percentage of you out there will have lots of knowledge about this...
How many of you have bought a Milling Machine or Pillar Drill or Rotary Table with a "drill hole" or two or three in it and "wanted" to repair it.
Of course it doesn't usually effect the operation of the machine in most cases .. so it's more about returning it to original cosmetic status which for some matters and may even influence a purchase in the first place!
As just about all of the above are of cast construction surely there must be reasonable ways and I've heard of various metal pastes offered by MSC - J&L etc as well as mixing a glue with cast iron filings etc ...
Any good sound advice would be sincerely welcomed.
