Isn't Jay Smith down there in TX?
I have to make a couple main bearing spacers to be able to cut the decks true to the mains. It's on my "to do" list. I can cut off what's there, but to do it correctly, you must reference the mains to make it square. I'm going to make a shell mill mount for my large surfacing machine to do them. You can do them on a Bridgeport, but I'd rather have the stability of a 3000# machine with more substantial ways to do it dead on to the nuts. My verticle mill is like a toy compared to the big surfacer.
