Default Re: 1953 monarch lathe restoring

Sounds simple enough...the hardinge i have is a second op lathe with the reverse dove tail (similar to your TL) and the bed is worn where the saddle has just taken its toll...no one in my area can surface grind anything this long. The wear is in the 0.005" range, do you think the turcite would be a good solution to rebuild this bed? Or should i just suck it up and scrape the entire bed.
