Worn or galled ways kill accuracy and finish. Whether it's a lathe bed, mill table, or grinder slide, these shops regrind and hand-scrape ways back to geometry — some come to you.
Way restoration is usually grinding to remove wear and re-establish flatness, followed by hand scraping for oil retention and bearing. Decide up front whether the machine travels to the shop or a portable grinder comes on-site (big or installed machines often justify on-site work). Have your machine model and the worn surfaces identified before you call.
