The table gib for the K&T 2HL horizontal milling machine has a lot wrong with it

The table gib for the K&T 2HL horizontal milling machine has a lot wrong with it. Not only is it a banana, it has a lot of scoring and is worn about .013” as best I can measure. The bow is easy enough to fix quickly in the arbor press. And I would love to be able to grind it and scrape it but that is beyond my capability or budget. Or even make a new one. I’ll shim it when I put it back in. Maybe someday this machine will get a real rebuild but until then, I need to make it good enough.
