The forum has been pretty boring lately and I figure it's time to have a learning experience. If you have been reading my info for a few years you know I like to ask questions to make you think! I know the answer to my question but I want you to learn by thinking instead of me telling you the answer right away. I want everyone to be a detective and think about it. The Pro's Please let the Hobby Guys answer first. Pro means you were paid to rebuild someone else's machine. I picked 2 on Ebay. I tried to cut and paste the pictures, but I can't. Maybe someone can help out here, so when the machine is sold we don't loose the pictures.
OK - I have 2 machines Both a Kearny and Trecker Mills. 1 a Plain Horizontal model 2 K with a 12"x56" Table, 50 Taper Spindle, 15 to 1500 RPM. I see it's on Ebay, K&T Plain Horizontal Mill,, 2K, 50 Taper | eBay machine is sold we don't loose the images
and a
Horizontal CMS 13 1/2 x 64" Table also on Ebay. 'Milwaukee' K&T, vert. Milling, Mod. CSM, 131/2 x 64” | eBay
Both machine show wear in the column ways and when you indicate the table top it is off .010" in the Y (saddle in and out) and X is off .010" Top of table left to right.
Lets skip the ideas of why it's off and adjusting the gibs, etc. lets say we did all that and we have it completely apart laying on the floor ready to be rebuilt. What's next? Let's make PM a learning experience again. Rich
