I have a Leblond that I acquired several years ago with a few minor problems.
One of the problems until recently was no tail stock, now one of the problems is the tail stock.
I bought one that is in need of a great deal of attention. Re scraping is a must, the quill fits well but points down hill towards the head stock .008 in 4''. The recommended standard by Connelly is up hill .0008 sooo it's out nearly .009.
I've separated the tail stock base from the top and need to scrape the V and flat ways but also have to scrape the top of the base flat first.
Here's the question: Short of chipping a hole in My surface plate , how do I check/blue the top of the base? It has a projection for the transverse adjustment and alignment.
