Ray just checked that video nice machine.Re the damage looks pretty
grim.with out a 1-1 look its is going to marginal especially where the location is always in the spots with max usage.am sure some where here there is a slab of cast iron here that a piece off it would do is about 4 inches thick so is meat to play with by the looks.Could be a bone graft there with the skills ability and 'grey matter' on this forum.just the time and the angst to effect its repair Cheers for now J A.
As with most machines made they all got a weakness some where and judging by others who own them this is a given chance to boost the components structural integrity.Knowing the Teutonic race well the ''phillistine who did the damage to the mill in his mother country he be banished to "Siberia''.We make fine machines for fine operators dis does not happen.Last edited by j.ashburn; 25th Jun 2013 at 04:15 PM.

I think as machines even expensive ones get older and the paint starts to chip and they look a bit grubby, that is when the "gomers" (cannot use the au version of gomer in this forum) swarm and get their hands on them with obvious results...

Ahh the video shows the damage..... My TC grinder t-slot had similar damage..........
I would fix that damage with an epoxy and a thin metal retainer under the epoxy... You could put some metal supports in the epoxy to stop it compressing...Gold, the colour of choice for the discerning person.

Josh,
Nice, except for that 'T' slot damage.
As a thought; is there enough meat in that casting under the slot to mill it off and than turn up a steel ring/ "T" slot module and bolt it in place of the damaged piece???

Oh I dont know, put an M8 head on an M12 bolt then hide it, you're just asking for trouble. Then make the weakest link the most expensive part and your well on your way to selling some spare parts?
As I understand it there is no "feel", when you "feel" something you have just damaged something.
I'm still in the "skim 0.5mm off see how much of it cleans up and make some super extra long tee nuts" camp. Sorry did I say "tee nuts" I meant bridges hehe . I'm guessing* as bad as the edges look, a little further back wont be so bad............thought as I say thats just a guess.
*well maybe hoping really

Thanks for the vid boys
I see the X handwheel has been drinking......
I'm with Ken on the fix, bolt a new ring on, with an arc cut to fit the fully busted bit. I'm guessing there is a bolt right in the middle of that section? If there is i think Stu's bridge nuts won't really do anything there. Hang on....are they t nuts or t bolts (i'm a bit confused with which pics are yours and which arn't)? How can one do that damage with a t bolt? A nut you can jack up into the t with the bolt.....like what happens on mill tables.
Is it as load as it seems in the vid?

Not sure I understand the question?
You mean will there be a bolt in the middle of the missing section? That would depend what angle the head is at. But at most angles there will be a bolt somewhere in at section.
One side of the tee slot is still there. with a "packer" on the other side it will still work. So as I'm seeing it at worse you will lose 1/8th of the clamping force it left the factory with. Not trouble at all to get that back with longer tee nuts. If you machine it all off and replace it you will get all 8 8ths clamps force(or more with longer nuts), but I'm wondering just how rigid it will be?.......Oh and one other plus of my way is if it turns out not to work you can always machine it all off and try that way.
They are tee bolts.
Possibly to be replaced by tee nuts(likely tee nuts with a stud loctited into them??) .
How do you damage a tee slot with a tee bolt? By tightening the bolt until it the load on the area under the head in contact exceeds what the cast iron can take. Makes it easier if you have a M12(?) bolt with a tiny head, with the curved slot and a straight bolt head making things even worse.

Fair point. I guess i mean will there be a bolt there with the head trammed.....
I had better be careful. Similar small headed bolts on Mlle, 5 per swivel. Only hers are M16 x 1.5mm......1915 17"x50" LeBlond heavy duty Lathe, 24" Queen city shaper, 1970's G Vernier FV.3.TO Universal Mill, 1958 Blohm HFS 6 surface grinder, 1942 Rivett 715 Lathe, 14"x40" Antrac Lathe, Startrite H225 Bandsaw, 1949 Hercus Camelback Drill press, 1947 Holbrook C10 Lathe.

My main reason for liking the start from scratch approach was I thought the ring was cracking further around from the break. But I think that was a jagged shadow from the damaged underside of the slot. If the only 2 problems are the crumbled underside of the slot and the missing section, then I'm preferring a repair. Like boring out the bad surface and inserting a square section steel ring. Feed it in through the break like a circlip. Maybe even in two halves. Then you can bridge the void with the ring, a packer and a really long nut. Bet you could even get it to look good.
PS: There, that was easy; what are you moaning about?

I find it difficult to believe that Deckel would have used Unbrako (style) tee bolts to secure the head. It looks to me as if the buttress section of the bolt is the cause of the mutilation of the slot. The head of the bolt, being short, has allowed the bolt to rotate and dig in.
How about taking advantage of the breakaway and using it as the insertion point for some long curved tee bolts. Longer than Wilfred's. And rather than machine off the damage in the slot, how about rebuilding the slot with something like Devcon Steel Putty and cleaning it up with a light skim cut. Something that will provide a continuous smooth bearing surface. The broken section of casting could possibly be replaced with a screwed on piece of cast iron, slottted during the tee slot clean up. If you require some cast, I have some 4E and a 5kg Parcel Post bag on standby.

Hi BT,
That makes perfect sense, now that you point it out.. the unbrako tee bolts are a sloppy fit in the t-slots, that alone makes me suspicious that they aren't original. Larger semi-circular t-nuts that fit properly after we skim the damaged slot, might be the best approach, and as Stuart says, if it doesn't work out then we can go back to plan B and machine a whole new T slot assembly.
Either way we will be needing that rotary table..
Regards
Ray
PS... Yes it was nice of them to prepare for the larger t-nuts by smashing the sides out...
