  I stoned mine... took all the mill marks out that aren't supposed to be there and it helped a ton.

  Nice! I was scraping professionaly for a company that produced measuring instruments in the 80s for about 2 years. Still have it in my muscle memory 🙂It&apos;s important to hold back with the blue! The real high spots will then be the shiny spots with a blue border.

  Now that was funny when you transitioned from tapping to Morse Code to SOS “my lathes in trouble, please send help”. I actually burst out laughing. I’ve been there with stuff that’s just so screwed up all you can do is make a joke and laugh.

  About the studs, if the torque you give to the studs or to the nuts where over the elastic limits or the force applied during work is over the limit, then definitely will stretch. If you remember, olds cars had to go back to the dealer after several miles, to &quot;retie&quot;. After 1975, with the torque and angle control does not need.

  I&apos;ve recently embarked on a project to build an air bearing, and you have provided a heep of info on achieving precision without extremely expensive equipment like precision grinders.

  Richard, Smart and Brown who made beautiful tool room lathes used eccentrically mounted ball races on the far side of the saddle that ran under the bed. Not saying you should but they did!

  Nylock nuts are not reliable. You either need to double nut the studs and jam them together or add jack screws ao you can tighten the nuts to the plate like you mentioned earlier.

  I don&apos;t think the nylock nuts actually came loose, I&apos;d be willing to bet that since the gibb was riding on the corner of the bed being out of plane, it simply just wore enough to cause a loose condition. Not much gibb surface contact, it wouldn&apos;t take much for it to wear in a few thousandths.

  You were getting an automatic spring pass before you fixed it. 😂
