Thnks Luke. But I would say this "job" hence video is not descriptive of "best practise" or "how to do it". It was more or less "a stunt project" and the process followed suit, ie. what was done in a "night shift". The obvious addition I would have done was to plan ahead and build/use5 a level "sled"/Kingway tool instead of building up a combination of cylinders, beam straightedge and blocks and shims
@@jansverrehaugjord9934 - Too bad that time was such a limit. I would be interested to see a reference part ground before and after the work. Good job on getting things started!
@@somebodyelse6673 Thanks. We did some grinding of a piece before, but no footage, sorry. I guess there will be ample time to view results on pieces in the future though, so can update later. PS! The shop is a bit of a distance away, and my friend is also there all the time.. the main thing I do there is having my Myfords ground 😀 so this was a "sidetrack" project really.. thatbjust evolved as we went along, but I thought it was nice to share anyhow
Thanks for the comment! Yes, I know what you mean. Normally I would do a ot more measurements, but this was , as I wrote, something of a stunt project that was done in the matter of some late night hours, so all was not optimal
Is it possible to scrape in the table, making sure there is vertical alignment between flat and V with a kingway type tool, and then use the table to spot the saddle? This is how it was suggested to me to do a similar grinder.
Sure. We ground the table as a bed-grinder was available. Many ways to get this done, I suppose. If RK makes/sells more of these Kingway tools I will also buy one!
Hello Jan. Did you find any litterature / manuals for the stanko Surface grinders? I recently Purchased a Stanko 3E710v-1 surface grinder and are looking for info for this machine.
Hello there. I didn't see any manuals, sorry. This is not my machine, so possible the owner has elsewhere. I wouldn't go there anymore, but maybe you can seek out info on chipmaker.ru ?
Does the table rely on gravity and it's weight to keep it in place or is there something like a gib to keep it from lifting up? I know that grinders don't tend to lift up the workpiece like a milling machine does, but I just want to make sure.
Having recently spent a good bit of time rebuilding my slightly smaller but similar East German grinder it is cool to see your process.

Stunt or not so long as you don't make it worse it is a good thing
@@lukerickert5203 Of course.. it should be much better now

забавно! 3г71!!!! из СССР! лучше конечно 3е711 или 3е721
One method I have seen for accessing awkward areas for scraping is to set up trestles and boards just above the ways and scrape kneeling down.
True. I also tried that on this machine (and others).. trouble is I am getting old (and stiff.. in the wrong places)
@@jansverrehaugjord9934 aren't we all :)
Nice job.if i can say,you can check the flat slideway with a level,on step by step.

Sorry for the background noise 😅
That's OK... sounds like it should to me!

@@jansverrehaugjord9934 Thank you. I found some documents in there, but only photocopies in russian..
Thank you very much for the explanation !
Do you think the cause for the scoring was lack of lubrication or dirt ?
Thanks for the comments! Both, I would guess, but also mixing the grinding dust in the coolant and this getting on the ways
I don't think there was any lack of dirt.
@@somebodyelse6673 I guess not 😁

As far as I remember it is only gravity
@@jansverrehaugjord9934 Thank you very much for the reply.
