Jones & Shipman Slideway Grinding Project (Aerospace)

Failure of the bellow covers lead to coolant and grinding wheel sediment to be pumped around the slideway lubrication system of this Jones & Shipman cylindrical grinder. The machine required disassembly down to the base casting, slideways re-ground & re-scraping of the turcite. The machine was rebuilt and back to production all within 10 days.
