The ways are scrapped for a few reasons. First, to ensure a extremely flat surface. Grinding can accomplish this same function on newer systems, but scrapping was a preferred method until recently (and still is for many). Second, the scrapping allows for oil to flow between the turcite and the way to reduce wear.

Which material used to make a lathe bed?
Cast iron is used as the "material of choice" for many machinery housings or bases because it is extremely stable in its structure. Certainly it is subject to thermal expansion and contraction, but the crystal structure of cast iron makes it "hold its shape" in applications ranging from machines and machine parts to cookware. And in things like a lathe bed, we need the thing to be "the same" every day and all the time so we get accurate, consistent work. Cast iron also suppresses high frequencies generated during machining. Note that the ways (the parts of the bed that the carriage slides on), are hardened and machined to provide lasting and accurate surfaces.

What are the three reasons for using cast iron for lathe bed?
Cast iron is commonly used for lathe beds due to its excellent damping properties, which help absorb vibrations and provide stability during machining. Its high compressive strength ensures durability and resistance to deformation under heavy loads. Additionally, cast iron is relatively easy to machine, allowing for precise shaping and finishing of the lathe bed surfaces. These combined characteristics contribute to the longevity and performance of the lathe.
