Surface grinder restoration and scraping
Andrew Wildman:
Mike,
Mine is the same model with the oiler. the rest of the ways seem in ok condition. I think the bellows failed on the column and grit go in.
Pete,
I am not sure if the problem is just with you or others also can't see. anyway, here is the link:

Phil,
I was looking out for a capco when I spotted this. they seem to be very similar machines, I think the capco has a slightly bigger capacity

Andrew,
My Capco is a mighty heavy lump. The table is 640mm long. It's all in bits at the moment but the stroke must be about 550mm. If I had a big mill I'd remachine the dovetails on the table - but I haven't (mine only has a 300mm travel) so scraping is my only option.
Cheers.
Phil.
Andrew Wildman:
hi all,
Please find the next in the series below. BTW I am looking for an old (ideally a bit beaten up - save wasting a good plate) 18" surface plate to cut up to make a straight edge. Does anybody have anything that they would not mind selling for a fairly low sum?
Pete W.:
Hi there, Andrew,
I've sent you a PM.
Biggles:
Great work Andrew, enjoying the videos. :clap:
