Hello there,
I risk a post here..
My name is Jan Sverre, from Norway… one of Richard’s students.
We seem to have our share of Soviet machinery up here in Scandinavia (historical reasons..)
I have a Russian (Soviet made) lathe dated 1976, and this got me interested in their machinery in general
Went on the ??? ?????? ????????? ? ??????. ?????????? ???????? ? ?????? ????????? ??????????. forums and from then on got linked to what probably is a pro rebuilding shop
Anyway, this rebuilder has quite a lot of interesting videos on his/their work
Maybe some could be of educational content?
Last they are working on a medium size lathe
About min 40 sec into the video they are installing what looks to be some sort of plastic shims on the saddle ways
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O5N2X99QM24
Is this an alternative to Rulon, Turcite etc.?
Also, to make 4 pads.. is this functioning as good as a continuous strip scraped low in the middle?
In another video, I saw they had used a continous strip, and I thought that maybe in a pinch (material shortage) they just used 4 smaller strips.. but I doubt so
Wouldn't you be prone to dirt ingress in the middle areas?
(I am a mere novice, and this guy seems to be a pro, so I will stay very low..)
About 4 min 50 sec into the next video you have the testing and scraping of these “pads”

PS! About 2 min 25 sec into the same video you can also see a variant of a Kingway tool
And here is a video devoted entirely to this tool
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5728X4FgAK4
Looks like a nice tool, but don’t know more about this..
In general, over there they seem to have adopted some similar, but also other methods and tools
Interesting to see anyhow.. at least for me, and maybe for some of you if not already familiar with this
