Hello !
I have a big surface grinder (2500mm or 100 inches stroke), which sat unused for 10 years.
Y way end was exposed and of course some village idiot used way end as an anvil so it has some dents. Not very bad but they should be scrapen off. As I live in Estonia, we have no service like that available and I think I could manage it.
But first, as I have no trustworthy straightedge available, I think I will buy a granite straightedge. Can somebody suggest, how long straightedge is needed when the "damage" is about 200mm long ? Is there some rule of a thumb ? 2x or 3x or something similar ?
Afterwards I will post some pictures as this animal needs some more adjustments and repairs before it gets back to service.
Thanks !
