Hi All,
I was browsing the Buy/Sell posts and saw an ad for way scraping
and thought about J. Pollock with his older B-C No. 12. Richard King in MN posted
the ad on our Buy/Sell page and he has his info there if anyone wants to contact him.
Just go to Buy/Sell, select "Equipment" for sale, and "Other" -
takes you right to it (5th down the list anywho).
To me, way scraping is fascinating - an art really. I remember years ago a fellow scraped ways on a grinder we had, and it made a big difference. Taking out the saddle in ways lets you adjust gibs like you would on a new machine.
Richard must be the "Johnny Appleseed" of way scraping; he says he's trained about 7000 students in over 30 years, and evidently wants to train more.
Richard, if you read this, I hope you'll share some thoughts with us.
