Hi Roger
Earlier this year, I bought the slides of BCA jig borer from a chap in
Sussex. The surface of the built-in rotary table was pitted, and he had
filled in the holes with a metal-loaded epoxy, and ground these level with
the surface. Except for the difference in colour, this has made a very
acceptable repair, without submitting the rotary table to further machining
or welding. Many years ago, I repaired a damaged cylinder on a printing
machine in a similar manner.
If you care to contact me at shep.28@xxxxxxxxxxxx, I will give you his email
address, and I am sure that he will give you a source of supply for this
excelent product.
Cheers!
