I have been messing with my prehistoric Millmaster here. I pulled the head off and went through it. Fixed the hand wheel so it works again and a couple of the bearings in the quill were a bit growly so I replaced them then cleaned up the castings and brush primed and painted it.
This machine sat outside for several months and all the handles had light surface rust on them.
A wire wheel in the pedistal the grinder did wonders on them.
So now I'm wondering what to use to prevent them from rusting again.
On woodworking machinery they use wax I think.
Would that keep the brightwork halfways pretty on this thing? The table - when I get it cleaned up will get oiled. But handles and the like you hate to have oily.
What do you guys use?
Thanks
