  Bogs,

 I have read the "fixxin Darrens Lathe " post and found it to be very educational if not a little intimidating as I don't have a briggy or briggy clone to mill the bed casting. This was before you posted the inverted fly cutter idea. Neat trick! 

 Having said that I don't think mine is as bad as Darrens.  I don't believe it needs milling. It is pretty smooth along the ways but it keeps getting loose very quickly. I am thinking that the tapered gibs might solve that. Am I right? Trying to adjust those mickey mouse gibs is a real pain.

Bogs worked his magic on the beds of my mini lathe, which was not as bad as Darrens but it has still made a difference, so if you can get it done it is worthwhile.
