I bought a '76 FTV-1 14 years ago. Went through it and have been yery happy with it, but as I get ready for retirement, I'd like to bump it up a notch. Getting a belt and glacier sleeves from Lagun this morning. I had replaced all the bearings when I got it. Spent most of its previous life working about a 10" window on x travel, so I just tighten the gibbs for that window and loosen them a little if I travel more. Lagun wants $2800 for a new table, which is 2.5 times what I paid for it. Always thought I'd bump up to a BP, but someone has cornered the market here in Texas and bumped the prices up.
So..
I've youtubed it and found several vids on someone using a scraper to re-work the tables but found nothing on grinding the ways.
Anyone experienced with this?
Thanks
