I've a 21" Powerturn with the typical wear next to the chuck. Has anyone ever tried unbolting the ways and flipping them end for end?
It’s been a pet peeve of mine that hard replaceable ways are not actually very replaceable. Always need ground in place or fitted carefully or anointed by the priests of the First Unified Satirical Church of Precision...........................
Now days, machine tools with linear rails, the pads these rails are mounted on, they are scraped to some degree of precision. But you pay for this as part of the cost of the machine. The more precision you ask for, the more it will cost.
thermite,
I was referring to the linear bearings/rails used on DMG-Mori machines. According to my source, you specify degrees of precision in those rails and bearings. Yeah, you want to hold repeatability in millionths, they will provide it and certify it, too. But you will pay dearly for it!
