At the right the machine has been entirely disassembled leaving only the bed.
At the left is the lathe bed after sandblasting and prior to spraying
polyester filler on the casting.
To the right the lathe bed is being ground on our way grinder.
After painting and way grinding the lathe bed is leveled. Micarda is
bonded to the bottom of the saddle and it is scraped to mate with the ground bed.
At the right the headstock is being rough scraped into the lathe bed.
It will be finished scraped once the spindle is assembled in the headstock.
To the left the headstock is being assembled.
At right is pictured the completed headstock mounted on the bed and the
saddle with re-ground top and hand scraped cross slide.
At the left can be seen the completed tailstock and hydraulic indexing turret
mounted on the cross slide.
To the right the apron has been mounted and the Bijur lubricating
system installed. A ball screw has been mounted with a sheet metal cover and the
servo motor attached to the right end of the bed.
