Boyar schultz 612 ways

I got this quote in March. It is Rulon 142 which is the same thing as Turcite B.
It was a pleasure speaking with you this afternoon. Here are the current costs of your requested RULON 142 thickness: I buy it from Tstar.com and it is sold in square ft. plus glue and shipping. Like I said before you need to scrape the soft ways first and then match fit the Turcite.

3 feet of .032” x 12” $104.43/ft

4 feet of .047” x 12” $108.35/ft

4 feet of .062” x 12” $125.60/ft

Dabbller is right. It sure looks green on the table to me. If the saddle is hard then I would have it ground. If it has hardened inserted ways, I bet the factory had a special fixture to bond it on.
 
I see this thread. I wonder if Boyer Shultz put Turcite on or it another owner did.

So after clean up and inspection I noticed something maybe someone knows. My machine a BS h612 challenger. Circa late 70’s. I’ve read in earlier and my manual that as a option hardened ground and scraped ways. I’m no expert by any means but when I look at the “scraped” surface. To me it’s been...
