I have 2 Fadal VMC 40s. One is a 1984 2013 and the other is a 1985 2216. I have also worked in numerous shops that had many FADALa that I ran, repaired and maintained. I just aquired the 1985 and started tearing it down for a thorough cleaning, inspecting, repairing, and adjusting. I have never seen a boxway FADAL without Turcite before. This machine has turcite on the saddle (Y axis) but no turcite on the table ( X axis). If the Turcite was just worn out or fallen out, I would think the ways would be galled. The ways on the saddle and the table appear to be ground and scraped and in flawless condition. If you check the stack height of everything, the non adjustable gib straps have 0.0018" clearance. I have replaced Turcite on machines before and the table is usually rough where the Turcite is bonded to it, not ground. Does anyone know if Fadal made any machines ground ways instead of Turcite?
