Waymint, Inc., are ex-Okamoto assembly and master hand-scraping technicians. We auto-travel anywhere in the continental United States to hand-scrape Okamoto surface grinders on-site back to brand new OEM accuracy. We actually surpass a two tenth .0002” Okamoto standard by double (.0001”) and provide the Okamoto customer with flatness grinding capabilities never before experienced. Individual part grinding accuracy flatness in the millionths.
When an Okamoto grinding operator can no longer meet or exceed needed tolerance on a part grind, commonly .0002” or better, the operator then reaches into his bag of tricks by re-grinding, re-dressing, part rotation, part flipping, relocating part to a different mag-chuck area, wheel change, grinding speed alteration, decreased downfeed amounts and coolant improvements. When all these applications still result in failure to achieve a needed grind tolerance, the operator discusses a plan of attack with his superior and a chuck topside regrind is usually the next move. When this fails… our phone rings or an email finds our In-Box. Time for Waymint, Inc., to visit and rescrape the ways to restore your machine’s accuracy. Works every time!

Solid flooring required
For Waymint to be successful, we require the machine to be seated on solid flooring without cracks or hollow voids beneath the flooring. Our machinist bubble level can’t be meddled with by buckling floor segments when level checking the moving components of the surface grinder. Generally, if your machine is positioned on solid industrial grade concrete without cracks, you’re good to go!
Space requirements
Secondly, we require space around the front of the machine for the safe removal of the chuck, table and saddle. An overhead shop crane or a forklift works fine. Some customers provide their best forklift driver to assist in the lifting challenges, which is fine. We guide them along by stating what’s needed and the operator simply follows safe and sound directions from Waymint, Inc. Everything goes very smoothly.
Work area requirements
Thirdly, Waymint requires a pair of heavy duty work horses or a heavy duty steel table that is capable of safely supporting the saddle and the table, independently, not paired together. So, once we confirm good flooring, space around the front of machine, overhead crane and/or forklift availability and a pair of work horses and-or a heavy duty table, victory is then assured.
How we do it
We partially disassemble your grinder; wheel guard, splashguards, coolant tank removal, chuck removal, table removal and saddle removal. From here we assess the turcite condition. We can use, or needs replacement. Not a problem. Scrape the saddle back to OEM accuracy, scrape the table back to OEM accuracy, change the oil, clean the filter, purge the oil lines, reassemble the grinder and grind in the table top surface. Following a bottom and chuck topside grind-in, you’re ready to rock and roll!
