(don't know how to spell it :-( ) As far as I can see there is no way that you or me can remove saddle wear grinding a bed like this only add more sway to the bed. Am I right or wrong on this? You're right, Uffe. He'd have to support it at the ends and run his own "ways" across to hold that grinder to get a perfectly flat cut. As his setup works now, it's tracking any wear or curvature of the ways, but it is offset a bit by the sled. -- Shake off all the fears of servile prejudices, under which weak minds are servilely crouched. Fix reason firmly in her seat, and call on her tribunal for every fact, every opinion. Question with boldness even the existence of a God; because, if there be one, he must more approve of the homage of reason than that of blindfolded fear. -- Thomas Jefferson |
