I took the bedplate to work today and gave it a much needed clean. In the motor business it's called giving it a birthday ! A dose of brake cleaner followed by a steam clean !
I did jot down a basic sketch of a direct tracking set-up. Has given me a few ideas. Will put it here when I remember to bring it home. The next major job it needs is the removal of some rusted in grub screws. That will have to be a weekend job; they will need some heat to free them off. Not too much as I know what can happen to cast-iron. I will have to be careful.
