New-to-me MTI Qualos surface grinder

[Vinny]

Before you grind anything, clean off/de-rust the bottom of the chuck and table top as un-abrasively as possible. Then take a DTI to it and see if it's even going to need grinding.

I was all set to do that with mine seeing as the chuck isn't the one that came with it (none came with it). After completely cleaning, degreasing and degunking it I put the DTI on the table. No grinding necessary. Cleaned up the chuck real good and mounted it. Put the DTI on that and no grinding necessary there either.
