Kemal, machine tool scraper

Kemal, bent over the workpiece, pushing the hand scraper along the machine way with both hands.

About me

I do the scraping myself. Where the machine stands.

Hiring me means letting a stranger work on a machine that sits on the books at six figures, and you can only judge the work once it’s done. That’s why this page shows what I measure with and what I don’t offer.

My full name is Kemal Özyildiz. Schaber is German for scraper, so the name is the trade. I rework ways by hand, on surface and cylindrical grinders as well as on milling machines and lathes.

Workshop

Where do I work?

Mostly in your plant, on the installed machine. The saddle comes off, the bed stays in the machine.

The workshop is at Kißlingweg 26 in Mühlacker. Only parts that have to come out of the machine anyway go there, such as a bed or a rotary table. For everything else I come to you, in Germany and abroad.

Long lathe bed in a factory hall, both ways reworked to bare metal, the lead screw in the middle.

Measuring equipment

What do I measure with?

Electronic levels on the precision straightedge, and the dial indicator on a magnetic base. Each instrument has its own photo here.

What you keep

I measure before the work and after it. You get the results as a sheet that stays with the machine.

Inspection report
  • NIVELTRONIC electronic level on a precision straightedge over the magnetic chuck of a surface grinder, with the Okamoto 157 DXNC nameplate above.

    NIVELTRONIC by TESA

    Electronic level. Set across the table on the precision straightedge, two at once on long beds.

  • Granite straightedge in front of the bed of a lathe lettered Boehringer, with an indicator stand on top and a horizontal arm reaching over the machine ways.

    Granite straightedge

    The reference line over the way. On the Boehringer it sits in front of the bed, with the indicator stand and its arm on top.

  • Mahr Zentimess dial indicator with 0.01 mm graduation on a magnetic base, set against the edge of a machine bed. Measuring points are circled in red pen on the casting.

    Mahr Zentimess dial indicator

    On a magnetic base at the side of the bed, 0.01 mm graduation. It is run along the length. The measuring points are marked on the casting beforehand.

  • Bridge resting on the machine ways inside a machine, with a NIVELTRONIC electronic level on top and a dial indicator at its foot.

    Bridge across both ways

    Carries the level and the dial indicator across both ways at once, even in the installed machine, without anything having to come out.

What I don’t do

Laser measurement and retrofits are not part of it. If you want a control retrofitted, you need a different company.

I stick to the ways.
