Finally had some time over to work on this again, but it's 32c outside so work isn't fast..
I went over the miserable saw-off support.
The bottom limit has been incorrectly set so this thing has been sawn into over and over again.
If you look close there's a removeable piece, not sure if that's a stock solution or if someone has "fixed" this before.
Chamfered the horrible cut in the mill and also smoothed over the back plate to remove those half-holes.
Gave everything a little sanding to remove burrs and various places where someone had probably used this as an anvil and created a lot of raised edges.
I took the old round bars that were chopped off and chopped them off even more and faced them in the lathe. They were a real hazard before when sticking out with sharp edges ...
They do serve a function in the sense that they plug up some holes where the coolant would leak out.
Looks a lot nicer than before I think.
It doesn't really show up in the photos but there is a slight chamfer on the outside.
