Chester 920 compound slide gib

[Jack TapperParticipant @jacktapper22801]

Afternoon all,

I have a chester 920 from the late 90's which has a bent compound slide gib strip (No idea how it happened). I got in touch with chester and brought a new one but the sizes are completely different (10mm longer and over 1mm thicker).

I'm pretty new to engineering and only have a mini lathe / hand tools. So I feel making a new one is out of my ability.

Any suggestions on how I can get it sorted?

Thanks

Jack,

I'm a 9 x 20 owner too….

Send me a private message with the measurements of the old one, I'll make a new one for you..( cant say if mine is the same size gib strip..)
