I finally got my 9E Nippy block onto the surface grinder at work.
The bottom face had to be skimmed by about 2 Thou to make it flat enough to have the top surface ground flat and remove some minor rust pitting.
The top surface is having 1/2 Thou passes till the rust pitting is gone.
This is a block which has never had any machining work done on its faces as the original stamping marks were still present.
I will take the head into work while the machinist is still in a good mood and the workshop is quiet.
