Hand scraped bearings and ways
Hand scraped bearings and ways
(OP)
Is anyone aware of a book describing the methods of hand scraping bearings and surface plates? There isn't much published on it, and my search on amozon.com bore no results. I would be real interested to find a good text on mechanical maintainence too. I work for an on site machining company where we build many of the tools we use in the field including spindles and precision dovetail slides etc. These resources would be endlessly useful to me. Thanks.

I have the Lindsay book and "Machinetool Reconditioning" and they helped a little as I learned. I never really "got it" until I found a 2nd generation master scraper to teach me. It is cool to be able to make something real accuarate by hand, but life is too short to do much of it. Good Luck!
