Hi,
My name is Andrew, this is my first post here. Sorry if it is in the wrong forum, since it won’t involve scraping. I was just gifted an Atlas MF Mill, which I gladly accepted despite its limitations and a few needed parts(expensive but available). However there are some cosmetic issues with the mill, there is some rust on the table and on the casting. I was wondering what would be the best method to take off this rust. Would you approach the rust on the table and ways any different then you would approach the rust on the casting?
And, after I’m done removing the rust from the casting, I would like to paint it. What kind of paint would you use on a machine, an Epoxy paint or enamel or something else? What is your preferred finish I always like the hammered look.
Thanks for any help you can give.
