Resurfacing a mill table is the process of restoring a flat and smooth surface to the table of a milling machine. This is important because a flat and smooth table ensures that the workpiece is properly supported and that the cutting tool is able to make clean and accurate cuts. Over time, the surface of a mill table can become damaged due to wear and tear, or it may become misaligned due to improper use or maintenance. When this happens, it is necessary to resurface the table in order to restore its accuracy and performance.
There are several different methods that can be used to resurface a mill table, but the most common method is to use a surface grinder. A surface grinder is a machine that uses a rotating abrasive wheel to grind the surface of a workpiece. The wheel is mounted on a spindle that is moved across the surface of the table, and the workpiece is held in place by a magnetic chuck. The grinding wheel is gradually lowered into the surface of the table, and the material is removed until the desired surface finish is achieved.
