New-to-me MTI Qualos surface grinder

[Pete O]

Thanks for those tips. Makes sense to run an indicator over the surfaces before I go stuffing it up. I've watched several of the Suburban Tool videos- I think everything I know about surface grinding has come fro there. Haven't seen any disaster clips though, will have a look.
I feel like I've moved into the modern era with this machine- built date 1987 and the only metric machine in the workshop.
