i will be diassembling the headstock of a lathe (mini). it has a plain bearing and although i dont know what i will find i wonder what the surface finish shoud be. it has no pressure feed. smooth? how smooth? i dont intend to scrape it.
if i were to use abrasive, what gritt? lets stay with microns. what kind? no emery cloth i guess, it woud embed for sure. a stone? probably same problem. i have round norbide sticks. some round metal bonded diamond would be best, but i wouldn know where to get one.
advice? leave it alone, maybe?
edit: a file comes to mind.
