The old pan brake at work has seen better days. All the fingers are mushed up and not flat any more.

What machine would you need to fix them up again? I have no idea how hard the fingers are but they are probably not mild steel.

Could you re machine them on a knee type mill using a face mill? Obviously they can be fixed some how.

Has anyone ever fixed these before? Also I don't think there is any adjustment in them. Once you cut off 1/8" or so, the tip of the finger is no longer where it was. So the bends won't be like they should be. Would you re weld some metal back on to them? if so what grade filler? 400, 700 etc?
