Needed to use my cuttermaster yesterday and the air bearing spindle had some corrosion again! So after an hour of using soft steel wool and oil to get it apart and then polishing the spindle, it's working like new. Now I have perfectly clean un-plated steel parts which will rust again. So today, I took the air bearing back apart and gave everything a good coating of Velocite No. 6 spindle oil. put it back together and it runs fine with the oil. So the question is, any problems in the future if I keep it oiled? My shop can get very damp in the winter and everything rusts unless coated in oil. I know the oil will attract the grinding grit, but maybe can find a way around that.
