Mazak Mate Lathe Bed Wear

[taiwanluthiers]

My victor lathe has extreme way wear from the tail stock being rubbed against the ways for who knows how many years. This is problematic when turning between centers, but I guess all this means is I would have to adjust out any tapers with the tail stock adjustment before I reach the final dimension. It's so bad that center drilling at certain positions becomes problematic as it would snap the center drills from being off center.
