19 forum posts	charlie, Be aware, if you are planning work by a firm other than Myford's, that Myford intentionally stress the bed to produce a very slight curvature during their grinding operation. I don't recall the details other than the deviation from linearity is only a thou or so. The process was described in the SMEE Journal in relation to a field trip to Myford's the society had taken in the the last few years. It might be worthwhile to discuss your needs with Myford.

Some hardening just does the surface, other processes can through harden, and you don't know what the prehardening treatment is like. They could chill after casting so the bed is pretty hard anyway, and so forth.
