Many people have opinions but what is the best way to deal with nicks in your milling table?
Do you:
Take a fine sharpening stone, like a 2" x 6 ", and rub it gently across the table in several directions to rub off any raised burrs, so that the table is flat again?
Have it reground?
Rough up the holes and fill them with Devcon liquid steel, pouring it on fairly thick and letting it settle and become mostly dry. Then hand scrape the devcon down level with the table, then stone it?
Use a scraper to remove the high spots left, and not worried about the 2 or 3 holes?
Weld the table and then use a flycutter on it?
Use a dead lathe file and draw file the table surface to remove the high spots. That is all that you should do?
What is your opinion please?
Thanks,
Nelson
