I have a VMC milling machine (badged as an Alpine) that suits my needs well and fits in my workshop. However it is becoming apparent that wear is an issue. I did fit a new X axis leadscrew a few years back but other areas are giving concern. The X axis slideways, Y axis leadscrew and slideways are not as good as I would like.
Getting the slideways ground seems an expensive option for a basic machine but a new one is also pricey!
Any thoughts as to solutions, cheapish grinding etc.
