Hi Guys, Some of you may remember this from early last year. Well after a lot of prevarication and research on YouTube decided to have a go at welding cast iron. Bought some welding rods of e-bay and got to work. Forgot to take a photo of the initial grind out of the damage but you get the idea. This is a shot of the edge where I had to let a piece of cast iron in to fill the void. Final filling welds before mounting on my vertical mill. And fitted back on the pillar drill. I had to take nearly 2mm off the front to get the table at right angles to the quill!. Overall I am very happy with the result and the table has a nice ring when struck showing that it no longer has a crack. :D |

Nice job. The big question is 'How can someone make such a mess of the table in the firsrt place ?' There should be a law against them touching any kind of tool. Dave. |
