Did you get this off ebay recently from a guy in Bath. Just wondering as
I wanted to look at it as I was nearby, the guy gave me his number but
was never in when I called and didn't call me back so I didn't bother
bidding.

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

Id be happy as a clam giveing you both Boyer Shults surface grinders.
Ways are actually decent, lead screws are needing replacement.

Now if you can make a road trip to California....
