James A. Smith CompanyIf you undertake a rebuild or have other comments, I'd like to hear from you:
7901 Buchanan Street Northeast
Minneapolis, Minnesota 55432
Phone: 763-784-9153The Master himself reground my parts.
I will have pictures here of the shop and grinding machine soon.UPDATE: Someone recently told me that Mr. Smith doesn't like to regrind used Hardinge beds. It may be that he simply doesn't want to offer the service to people with unreasonable expectations or it may be that he doesn't make a profit on the venture. Be sure to call first and be very clear about what you expect.
