There is a chuck, looks fair new, and just offering it up to the morse taper on my tailstock, it doesnt quite fit as well as it should, so it could be. Picture included.

Recently acquired a Tos Celakovice FN20 milling machine, it needs several new bearings, it would be useful if I could get an owners/workshop manual or a parts list, can anyone help?

A bit of Pete Tong on in the background for a bit of Friday night scraping...View attachment 830560
your getting close there.
have a BP here that will need straightening up at some point, shes not bad, but there is low spots.
rang slideway services last year and to send table, saddle and knee to them and grind her back with new gib's was round the £800 mark, for all they do i thought it good enough value in the grand scheme of things.
scraping is a black art and i dont have the time to be at it, if i did she'd lie on the floor for far too long i fear.

Sale of engineering equipment just down the road from me this weekend. Lathes, milling machines, folders, and the rest, might be of interest to you metal working types!!

Might go for a look if its not harvesting weather.
Like a lathe bigger than my baby one but no 3 phase here and Id be well out of my depth with a lot of that stuff. No real idea of values either! :confused:
Dam I wish I had time to go to that? #kidinasweetshop ?

do they give it a bit of a frosting/roughing up with a scraper after a grind? Read that grinding is too good a surface with no reservoirs for oil to sit in and lubricate, too much metal contact.

i cant honestly give you an answer to that, i was watching someone on the tube, robrenz i think it might have been, suffice as to say there is even some science to the shape of that wavy track too, needs a little curve in it so as to let the oil move out and not act like a scraper and keep it there.

the ways would need something other than just a grind as you say, it might be crude but some time with a die grinder and a template Might get you back on track, they might still be there for if they have to grind past them the thing is too far gone nearly.

ill not say it lightly but id assume that i could do the frosting myself with the right tool?.
