About me

I do the scraping myself. Right at the machine, wherever it stands.

My name is Kemal Özyildiz, and I have worked as a machine tool scraper for over 40 years. It has become a rare trade, much like the hatter’s or the shoemaker’s.

A machine can be assessed and reworked better on site, technically and economically. That’s why I come to you myself, anywhere in the world, for surface and cylindrical grinders as well as milling machines and lathes. You can reach me personally with any questions about it.

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.

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