If you are going for accuracy, true accuracy, you need to focus more on what material is going to be the easiest for you to work and make corrections to with the tools at hand. .............If that material turns out to be E/G, then go for it. But choose it because you can work it after it has been cast, not because it has properties that don't matter to someone without twenty or thirty thousand dollars in measurement equipment.

One of the books people have always recommended to me, but I have not had the chance to read, is "Machine Tool Reconditioning" by Edward F. Connelly.
Additionally, some of the other forums online have pretty darn good information on getting a set of ways straight. |
Thanks for the post, Im not sure at this point if E/G will be the easiest. I have some epoxy on its way so I can do some tests. The aggregate is already available as we own a ready mix company . The aggreate has a high percentage of quartz and i think it will work well. A lot of the concrete tools such as mixers, vibrators ect are already availabe as well.
Thanks for the recommended reading, I have been spending a good part of the day reasearching machine way scraping.
