Thanks for all the info. I should maybe give some more detail on this project. I’ve been a machinist millwright for 30yrs. I am now the newest machine repair guy in the shop and I am taking a new approach,I want to go through these machines and actually repair every issue,rather than the band aid fixes that have been taking place for decades. These machines were installed late 50’s to late 60’s.all good machines,proper foundations. All the guys are shocked that they are letting me tear this machine down like this.the shop is full of tired machines,this is the first of many.the shop is a 24-7 operation (steel mill).i removed the outer ways and ground the .020 step out of them,all new way wipers and scrapers,rollers on the outriggers were within .0005 of round and taper(not bad for a 60 yr old machine),I am going through all of the oiling systems,going to mill the way pockets on the table because of the wear on the outboard ends,table rocks a little like a teeter totter if heavy jobs are placed on ends of table.giong to replace the flaking that has worn away in the middle of the column,then reassemble.lots of work,and I just wanted to square and level the correct way and in the correct order to get it right the first time.i am always amazed that,the longer I work in this trade the more I find that I have yet to learn.once again thanks for the input,this is the first of many total rebuilds I am going to be doing over the next several years,I may turn to this forum for advice several more times .nice thing is I have all the factory manuals,for these machines.
