Butchered topslide Hercus 9"
I've had this 9" model C for 38 years and have only ever done light work with it. The graunched top slide is as I bought it and I assume it met its fate in a schoolroom workshop when chuck met top slide and chuck won.
I now find that as I use the parting tool more I am getting movement between toolholder and top slide and I am breaking parting tips during light or heavy use. My presumption is the loss of load bearing area on the top slide is contributing to the tool holder instability. I also understand parting off can be a dark art
Has anyone had one of these slides satisfactorily repaired by welding/brazing or any other method, or is it a replacement from somewhere
Advice would be appreciated
