I picked up a Clausing 8520 some months ago and it has a lot of wear on the Y ways and it's annoying to compensate for it. I plan to keep this mill a long time, add DRO, etc., so I'd like to have the ways repaired. (Long time could be 25+ years - I'm pretty young )
What is the recommended method to do this? Should they be ground? Scraped? Ground then scraped? Something else?
I assume that this will not be cheap but I got a good price on the mill and even with the repair it will be less expensive than an equivalent new Taiwanese machine.
I'd also like recommendations for who should do the work for anyone who knows the options around Los Angeles. Thanks
