High precision, Low cost ... smart design ...
Free
Download this free PDF that shows the scraping of the three surfaces on the Ways Master Reference and also a discussion on using HSS scraper inserts over carbide.
This was the real-world introduction to scraping surfaces to 'flat'.
After this, the next step will be to do the scraping on the top surface and inside edge of the actual lathe Ways.
Because of the issues resulting from hand holding the angle grinder to prepare surfaces for scraping, I am halfway through building a 'rail grinder' to guide the angle grinder along and across two rails. Stay tuned for that next project ...
The PDF is the companion document for the associated YouTube video 'Part 02c - Scraping Mushy Mild Steel'.
