Thanks Andy. The smaller one, at 13.5mm, still seems big for my table, but we'll check. They look handier than bottled beer. Have you experienced any workpiece warpage ( up in the center ) due to the pressure of the edge grip? I also see others for sale where the steel and brass have been interchanged for brass bases and steel rockers. Advantage, one or the other? Change of subject but possibly germane to what I am doing, is that when scraped to fit like you did which leaves pockets to hold wear reducing lubricant in the surface of the gib. This has to be a Good Thing. I am thinking of doing a test fit to see if I can measure the amount of taper error for the 2nd one on the rear of the carriage, and since the last place I need any stiction is the rear of this because it will tend to bind and wedge the front v-way according to how much lube it can squeeze out of the way, (re-creating the problem all over again) and writing the gcode to do the correction, using the gib fixed against the supposedly flat table of the G0704, and a 1/16" mill sweeping back and forth across the surface at say 50 thou per sweep, using code that at the end of a sweep and out over air, runs the head down by 10 thou, then back up to whatever the corrected taper is at that point in the X travel, doing both moves at a high enough rate to cheat any potential stiction in the G0704. I am finding I have to oil the post daily to control that as it wears in. This would I'd think, leave an oil holding pattern in the surface that duplicates the scraped pattern. That would sure beat the near optically flat surfaces the front one now has and would likely be faster in accomplishing that task. Worth the effort? Or would the step pattern be so shallow its a never mind? Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
