This shows the section of heavy aluminium angle stock, and two

scraps of aluminium that have been cut to size and ground to the

same angle as the ways on the cross-slide mechanism.

The angles on those aluminium way pieces were sanded in with a

disk sander. That is a big advantage of working with aluminium instead

of steel, you can use woodworking tools to make things.

Here you can see the way angles that were sanded on the plate edges.

And a possibly redundant picture, included because I already uploaded

it to the web site and didn't want to waste the effort.
