Mill table resurfacing

<< < (2/2)

trapper:
Best to clean it up and leave it at that,but I have seen the table put on a plano mill and completely planed the top and the slots come off looking new,also if you had holes in you could redrill them to a common size(flat bottom with a slot drill),tap the hole so it took a cast iron plug,have the plug proud of table so you can put a couple flats on to tighten it in with a spanner(not really neccesary as mole grips would do).When its tightened in hole,stick a small tipped tool in and cut the piece sticking above the table flush,make sure you are cutting in direction so it tightens the bolt in-that would get rid of any holes-but is it neccesary?

John Rudd:
Well,
I've cleaned it up with a wire brush and it doesnt look so bad now.....  :scratch:

I may give a once over with some wet n dry paper to polish it and see how it looks after that....

The holes are relatively small, there are a few lengthy gouges in the surface but they are not deep....

Might be best to leave well alone?

NormanV:
I would leave it alone other than a clean up. Any machining that you do could affect the accuracy.

chipenter:
I filled mine with super glue and cast iron dust , the small ones just with super glue neat it takes a fair bit of sanding off

John Rudd:
Looks a good repair... :dremel: :dremel:

I might give that a go.

That said,I have some aluminium based filler that I got from Halfords might do the job... :scratch:
