What is Slideway Regrinding?
Slideways—also referred to as machine tool guideways—are the precision-ground surfaces on which machine components such as carriages, saddles, and tables move. Over time, these surfaces can wear unevenly due to usage, friction, and inadequate lubrication.
This wear can lead to:
Loss of machine accuracy
Poor surface finish on workpieces
Misalignment of moving components
Reduced machine tool productivity
Slideway regrinding is the process of accurately grinding and scraping these surfaces back to original specifications, helping restore machine performance and alignment.
