Colchester Master lathe bed way regrind

[@flaviomasenadore2392]

Che bello vedere una macchina vecchia tornare bella e precisa meglio che nuova anche perché la ghisa è invecchiata e migliora le proprie caratteristiche e le guide prismatiche così rettificate e senza difetti fanno brillare gli occhi agli amanti dalle macchine utensili... Solo chi ama questi reperti di archeologia industriale può capire😂😂

Do you have to build up the underside of the saddle so that the apron fits to the correct height for the rack/leadscrew engagement? Obviously dependant on the amount of bed wear Beautiful work btw

[@joecorner8974]

In most cases, you can't remove material from above the apron due to cross slide feed gear engagement. Dependant on customer's budget and amount of wear, turcite B can be used to replace worn/removed material.

Hey Joe are is this lathe induction hardened in the bed ways?

[@joecorner8974]

Im not sure when Colchester started hardening there beds but this one was, early ones may have bean fame hardened rather than induction hardened
