Pretty sure I need a mill part 2 cleanup

[DeadGuyAle]

continuing to poke away at exterior cleaning as time permits. In the middle of moving after 30 years so like to set aside a little time for something enjoyable and a beer!

Never been used has its good and bad sides.
24 year old cosmoline is either in a wax state or a varnish. Still working though, no rust on any coated surface and very minor on the uncoated.
Right now I don’t want to take the table off or start cleaning the spindle and bearings until I have more time.

Cleaning tips
utility razor blade works well for first layer removal of both forms of cosmoline
blue scotchbrite and wd-40 after that
corrosionX on cleaned parts until I can get setup and start using

Had one just like it, did a LOT of work with it.
Kinda wish I hadn't sold it when I got my full size BP clone...............................

Same time frame as my old one. It was a very good mill and I did a lot of work with it. It takes only a little bit of attention to detail to turn out good parts, and has enough power to get some stuff done. Enjoy it. Chances are, it will work for you. If it doesn't, there's always big iron.

Tonights adventure was tedious but ended up okay. Have this desire to do a little polishing but will see.
topend is next up.
