Alignment Rebuilds
The milling machine above ran properly, but had
difficulty maintaining accuracy. In this case, an alignment was
all that was necessary to restore it to its original specifications.
This particular machine had hardened ways, therefore grinding was necessary
to achieve proper alignment.
Step 1
The machine is disassembled to the extent necessary to accomplish the
following:
Step 2
The base, top of the saddle, and the column are reground to factory
specifications.
Step 3
The head, bottom the the saddle, and the top and bottom of the table are
handscraped for proper fit and alignment.
Step 4
The gibs are machined to remove score marks, then handscraped for proper fit
and alignment.
Step 5
Where applicable, nonmetallic inserts are installed.
Step 6
Both the electrical system and lubricating system are updated.
Step 7
Machine is reassembled and test run.
Step 8
Machine is filled, sanded, and custom painted.
