I've got a 15 inch shaper that needs to have some wear taken out of it. The ram has .005 taper from front to back end, both sides. Haven't lifted the ram off yet, but will be milling off the taper. Should add that the ram has box ways instead of dovetail.
Anyway, to the question, should I leave some slight "droop" in the channel the ram runs in, to compensate for deflection as the ram extends?
I am hoping to be able to scrape the bottom of the channel and bring it back into shape, just from what I can tell, it doesn't look to need a lot of work on it.
