Man, that is so satisfying. I would love to have my south bend resurfaced.

I'm on the opposite side of the planet, fyi. But it would be great to get this done to my old Petersen lathe. It is one with an extendable bed that stood the test of time very well. Eight feet long in the closed position loa. 6ft. bed opens to 10 ft. It's an almighty challenge to resurface due to the size and that machine you have would be something like, what would be the best way to spruce up the ways. You oughta do up a video of the whole process Joe? People will eat it up!

Hi, that sounds similar to the Stanley sliding bed lathes we had over here? if it hasn't got hardened ways it could be scraped, although I cringe at some of the home-brew bed grinding videos on here. Anything that's improving the situation can't really be knocked. I've asked my dad to help out filming (waving my phone around in one hand while working isn't really the best) I'll try and get some more detailed videos up soon

Does this affect the induction hardening of the ways?

What are you using to drive the head? Looks like a vertical head attachment for a horizontal mill.

its a purposely designed machine ( Churchill vb slideway grinder) the motor is built into the head
