I decided I’m going to go through my machine thoroughly and clean it but I need some help with cleaning it and sheet metal removal.
The inside of the machine has seen lots of oil and it’s everywhere I started pulling sheetmetal off how should I go about cleaning? I was thinking of spraying alcohol or mineral spirts and letting it flow all down.
Also need all New way wipers all around the ones that are in the machine are trashed. That’s actually one of the reasons I started tearing into the machine.
Another question is about the spindle chiller. The previous owner put something that is not Mobil long life coolant in there. I haven’t drained it to figure out what but it looks like it could be oil or orange antifreeze of some sort. Do you guys think I’m ok to flush it with radiator flush and then fill it back with some regular antifreeze?
I think last question for now. How does one remove the main z axis cover? Mine has fallen off the brackets and I don’t know exactly how it is supposed to go or how to take it off.
