That lathe is no good, stick it in that old Kadette and I will do you a big favour by disposing of both.
Missed a bit.
This is Tractol enamel but red is a bugger as it doesn’t have much pigment.
It’ll look much better with a couple more coats on it
That happened to my lathe chucks the other week too. Freeze-thaw condensation's a bitch.
I had WD40 all over mine... made no difference. Once I clean them up again I'm gonna coat with BLO, once it dries properly it works really well as a moisture barrier on steel. My jig table has lasted 3 years without any significant rust.I need to get some duck oil
Yeah wd40 is pretty useless at most things other than what it was designed for (Water Displacement)I had WD40 all over mine... made no difference.
