Cool, we had a couple of those. Thought those were lapped, not scraped? Interested in you capabilities, and if you have done a Moore T-base?
Moore G48 Bridge Style Jig Grinder Rebuild Journey
Hey Everyone,
2SQ Industrial here posting our journey of rebuilding a Moore G48 Bridge Style Jig Grinder for a customer in Connecticut. I'll be posting our step by step rebuilding procedure so you can get to see first hand what we do. Hope you enjoy it.
Step 1: Cleaning
Here's a picture of Mark and Chris getting the G48 machine prepped for scraping. They will be covering every inch(cm) of this machine to make sure it is nice and clean to be moved on to the scraping phase and eventually to re-painting. Stay tuned for more updates. If you any questions about the process, we would be more than happy to answer for you. Catch you all soon.

Underthetire,
The tables are taken off to ground and hand scraped back to tolerance. The housing depending on the shape of the paint, if it is chipping or what not it will be scraped off and puttied, then primered and coated.
As for T-base. I'm not too sure what you mean by that. If from the front view the table and the base create "T" shape, we called them here a "C" frame machine and yes we have done several of those. We focus on jig grinders both "C" framed and Bridge Style that have CNC capabilities already built in and rebuild/restore/retrofit them.
No, Moore was famous for the T-base Lathes. Looking to get one re-done here pretty quickly.
Oh the nanotechs. Ok. We actually have never done one of those before although I believe we would be up to the challenge. I'm interested to see what all would need to be done to it. Feel free to give me a call and we can talk more possibly helping you out there. You can call our shop at 877-687-3188 and ask for Maury Auer.
Years before the Nano machines. Ill give you a call Monday.

Stage 2: Scrape, Putty and Patch
The guys at the shop have been pushing extra hard to get this one done. With it being bridge style there is just more to deal with than normal so they have had to put in some extra hours to stay right on schedule. Here are couple pictures of Reconditioning/Rebuild Stage 2. The machine was wiped and cleaned head to toe, then was examined for any paint chipping, major dents, scratches and holes in the housing. Fortunately this G48 was in pretty good shape coming in so it made it a little easier on us. Any paint that has cracked is stripped off. Any dent, major scratch or hole is filled and made smooth to make sure when repainted the paint lays nice and flat. Stay tuned for Stage 3: Disassemble & Painting coming up soon. Any questions on the process or anything we do in relation to rebuilding, we are more than happy to answer for you. Ya'll take care and catch you all soon.
Stage 3: Paint
Taking time to make sure every little rough spot, ding, and previous cracked paint was patched with putty and sanded smooth, the Moore G48 Bridge Style Grinder has finally been repainted! We chose to go with the original Moore beige color on this one because of customer preference and originality. As you can see the paint turned out perfectly. We use an automotive quality paint and spray gun to get the job done. The finish is absolutely smooth with out any bumps, ripples, or runs. Many props to our hard working guys in the shop. Great job guys.
Here are some pictures for you to view: Hope you enjoy it!
Any questions about the process is always appreciated and welcomed. Thanks a bunch for viewing and we be posting the next stage here shortly.
