NAKAMURA TOME WT-300 REBUILD PART 7

Kevin from Precision Service is working on refurbishing a WT-300 machine, starting with the X-axis slide, which is set up on a GNO for milling and grinding to ensure precise surfaces. The process involves cleaning, inspecting, and potentially rebuilding parts like bearings, seals, and ball screws, addressing significant wear and damage on the lower X-axis slide with turcite application, while considering cost-saving options like rebuilding versus replacing components.

Key Points:

• Current Task: Milling and grinding the X-axis slide, focusing on binders to maintain precision without damaging the gib.
• Challenges: Severe wear on the lower X-axis slide, labor-intensive scraping, and potential replacement of ball screws due to cost and availability.
