I have a Bridgeport clone with a pitted knee the horizontal slide is pitted and the saddle gets tight towards the back the dovetail looks and feels smooth with no pits or edges Thought I have it reground was quoted about £200 + vat So now Im ready to do this I phone the company up to arrange booking ect but the price Im quoted is now £360
- vat ( I need to sit down ) now Stupid Question time
Is it possible to get a reasonable finish using the following method using a tool post grinder mounted on linear bearings bolted to the knee (knee removed fronm colum ) a hight and cross feed would be fitted I have all The above Items to hand so no outlay of beer barrel tokens in this case
I do that realise I would have to scrape the surface afterwards
Please Dont Shout at me ( oh go on then)
