It'll take a bit of doing yet, Ray - but thanks!
I suspect the spindle and slide for it may yet need some input from you - and maybe some finish machining on your mill. Mine is driving me nuts with its bowed ways, now that I've had a taste of your metrology department

Thanks Andre, but I'm sorry, I should have said this right at the start: the idea of an converting old production rack-feed mills into surface grinders is NOT my original idea.
I've come across a couple of these kinds of conversions (or photos thereof) on the 'net.
I do admit that this one just jumped out at me for the purpose as soon as I saw a picture of it.
Cheers,
Joe
