Lack of lubrication and congealed cutting fluid has gummed up the X axis, Loosening the gib has almost no effect until the table is entirely free of the ways and swings in the Y direction.
The machine is a "Hartford" import made by She Hong with 9 x 42 table and power drive on the right end.
What is the procedure for removing the table to allow access to the ways for solvent and water-based cleaning?
The machine has seen little use and stands idle most of the time but a quantity of undiluted synthetic coolant has made its way into the ways, power drive speed control knob, and other areas.
Is kerosene an acceptable solvent to pump through the one-shot lube system to check and clear the oil lines?
What is a good choice of oil for the one-shot lube system?
Thanks for any help offered.
