If you are thinking of refurbishing your old Bridgeport Mill or South Bend Lathe or scrape your CNC VMC; HMC, Lathe, Grinder then you will need to know how to scrape.  Scraping is the technique used to get proper fit and alignment on all machine parts after it has been machined.  1/2 Moon Flaking is on the top or Bridgeport mills to give them a pretty look and on ways to provide oil pockets.
Learn to hand scrape a small surface plate to the flatness of .0002" (0.005 mm) and 40 points per 1 square inch (PPI) and 50 % of Percentage of points  (POP).
Taught by Richard King who has been teaching machine way scraping for over 40 years and successfully taught over 30,000 students all over the world.  My trade's name is  "Journeyman Machine Tool Builder / Rebuilder"  I have been rebuilding machine tools for over 40 years.  Specializing in Jig Bores, Surface Grinders, Crank Shaft Grinders, Turcite* and Rulon (green Teflon way tape") Way Lined CNC Machines, Bridgeports, etc.
I explain how to hand scrape  to .0002" flatness and 20 PPI and then show how to hand 1/2 moon flake (extra deep oil pockets) .
I teach you way scraping using the Swiss made BIAX Power Scraper to the same tolerance noted above and he shows how to use the BIAX Power 1/2 moon Flaker.  What blades to choose and how to sharpen the blades.
If you want  I can teach the student how to hand and power scrape to .0002" (0.005 mm)  flatness and 40 PPI.
The class starts at 8:00 AM and ends at 5:30 PM - for all 5 days. I teach in my 45 hour training classes around the world.
I learned to scrape by my Father (who learned from a German immigrant who came the USA before WWII. In the last few years I have been teaching small shop owners and hobbyists in 5 -  12 hour day classes.   I have taught hundreds my 40 and 80 hour classes at 8 Divisions of GM, Cumins Engine, John Deere, Timken Bearing, NSK USA, hundreds of students at dozens of new machine builders in Taiwan including: Kent Grinder Company; Chevalier Machine; Paragon Grinder; YCM Machinery; Hartford Machine; etc.  I  have also taught at Spinner CNC machinery in Istanbul Turkey.
Pictures are of student scraping Rulon* Teflon* wear strip material and cast iron.  On DVD I am scraping cast iron bars.  It shows you how to scrape flatness on a plate or the same technique you will use on a machine.  It does not show be scraping a machine or rebuilding, just a small surface plate.  You can use the 1/2 moon flaking to add oil pockets to improve the lubrication on machines that still cut straight, but has a jerking or stick-slip when the machine is operating.
I am 30 minutes SE of MSP - Minneapolis / St. Paul International Airport, in Cottage Grove, MN.  There are several hotel / motels priced .00 and up with-in 15 minutes from my home shop.  My shop is temperature controlled with AC and a furnace.
I supply most of the tool you will need.  You bring your own personal project that you can bring to work on after day 3.  I will help you.  A normal project is :  small surface plate, a angle block, a straight-edge, a lathe compound, small surface grinder, etc.  Email and ask what you can bring.  A small item, not a complete machine.
I also have several Q&A sessions, discuss gib scraping, bearing installs, way alignment, leveling, etc.
You can also see how my classes go by searching You Tube - Richard King Scraping" where many of my students have filmed them.
Pictures are of classes where I am teaching scraping.  The DVD teaches you to scrape a small surface plate and after you learn to scrape a flat surface you can hand and power scrape projects like the pictures show my students are doing.  The DVD  I show is given plus a work booklet.   DVD does not teach you to do these types of projects, it only shows hand and power scraping and hand and power 1/2 moon oil flaking.  I sell it and an HSB stick on eBay too.
