Yup, it is a box of rough castings and at a good price.

I did seriously consider scraping the contact surfaces but using 500 grit
lapping compound did an amazing job. The dovetail ways show no signs of end
mill marks.

So... consider it a box of rough castings.

It would be a good project to practice the fine art of scraping and machine
tool repair.
