There's been several discussions about using "sleds" to reshape the bed ways of a lathe here on PM in the past years. Well, I'm been at the point of "what to do next" on my L & S rebuilding project which I will discuss later in another section.
I've been watching what other have done and playing around with a fixture that would work for me. Finely came up with something that will work. Mine is set up using one my routers I have from woodworking modified to do grinding. About six months building the fixture in my spare time. Took me about five months to get the front vee way ground.
Attached are some pictures of the grinding fixture and the results of grinding!
