Hello.First thread in this forum.I have old Polish bench lathe with well worn bed.Grinding is horrible expensive in my region.I have been scraping few years ago so i thought thats good idea to do it by hand.First of all i need to ask you how to scrape to preserve geometry of this bed.
My first idea is to scrape prism nr.5 and flat surface nr.6 belonging to tail stock.After that install on the tail stock plate mini handle electric drill with cutter and mill 1,3,4,2. That's only idea but that will be pretty dificult to make is stable.
I have 2x 1 meter surface palte,dial indicator,many micrometers,but not enough knowledge how to scrape and not make the bed scrap
I hope somebody will reply ma post cause long time no one is able to help me.
