Hello. I am working through my Hurricane Harvey salt water flooded shop. A few days ago the Y axis on my old Lagun Anilam CNC machine seized up. it turns out the y axis gib got stuck on some rust in the dovetail. While trying to remove the gib, The "Tab" broke off while pulling the gib adjustment screw. I talked to a shop and there is supposed to be a repair procedure for this. In case I fail at the repair, Does anyone have a estimated cost for scraping in a new Y axis gib on a Lagun mill. Just a very basic ball park figure. Or is scraping in a new gib something I can learn in months, not years. I want to know if this is going to be the death of this machine I guess. The mill was pretty cheap and a bit clapped out when I got it, now it has been Salt water flooded and sat for over a year, I tried to exercise the table and gears over that time, but I made the mistake of not exercising all the way to the travel stops.
This is more of a hobby machine at least for now.
