The saddle is now all milled up and ready for Moglice. I would have done it this afternoon but the pot life is too short when it's warm, and it was over 80 with the cooler going full-bore. I'll have to wait for a cooler morning.
It did align properly, about .033" gap all around after getting the height above the feedrod being used as the height reference. I need to score the V on the saddle some with a carbide burr (the side milling looks too good), check the alignment with the spindle and set that, then put the oil groove tape, plug the oil lines and I'll be ready.
One thing, though, if someone out there has a 10EE with very little wear I'd like to get an idea of the clearance between the rear of the bed and the saddle. Mine ended up at .010 but I really had to sort of guess at it a bit. I can fudge it a bit but would need to know now which way.
