I have an old CAPCO surface grinder that needs TLC. Has anyone
refurbished one? I need to re-machine all the bedways, I have a
Bridgeport Mill, but not confident about how to start the task, any
advice!!!
Also all the protective bellows have perished (originally leather) any
suggestions on what material (available in the UK) I can use to make
new ones!!

Thanks

Tony..those bedways need to be ground, not machined. Best hire that
out. And its not likely to be cheap.

Worn surface grinders are a tough row to hoe. The bellows can be
found in many places, including the US company called McMaster Carr
Now days they are usually a rubber compond. You CAN use the front
shock boots from some motorcycles for this, in a pinch.
