Hi Steve,

Since you put it so nicely ...
I am still installing my recently acquired Bridgeport mill. Like
all second hand Bridgeports that I have seen there are a number of
dimples in the table, where someone has been a bit over-enthusiastic in
drilling holes. I would like to fill these dimples and am torn between
drilling them deeper and tapping them and screwing in a screw and filing
or machining flush or filling the dimple with some weld metal. I
have a simple DIY arc welder. Would the welding route be a reasonable
way to go? If so what sort of stick should I be looking for? Is
there any likelyhood of introducing distortion of the whole table due to
the localised heat of welding?
Cheers,
Roger Mason, in a drying St. Agnes.
