Too late now, but this would have been my process (based on refurbishing the slideways of an Ormerod Shaper, which I helped my dad do 25 years or so ago). 1) Mount a dial indicator on the carriage. 2) Depending on the size of your surface plate, file spots every few inches at a spacing such that the surface plate bridges at least 3 of them to the exact same reading on the dial indicator. 3) Using a combination of engineers' blue, the surface plate, files, sanding blocks (and in the case of the shaper, an angle grinder) work down the rest of the surface to touch all the filed spots. 4) Pretty it up a bit. -- atp "Torque wrenches are for the obedience of fools and the guidance of wise men" ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Special Offer-- Download ArcSight Logger for FREE (a $49 USD value)!
