Hi,
I had a great weekend getting to know my new to me SB Lathe. I removed the apron and partially stripped it to gain access to clean with diesel fuel. I found very few chips compared to other aprons I saw on you tube.
My question, the felts are all there and seem to be intact. Will they still wick up the oil with the diesel saturation?
The oil passages were mostly plugged with shlapump (my Mother's term).
Which oil goes in the apron? A-B orC?
The more I get to know this lathe the more I appreciate the innovative engineering and quality of construction/assembly considering it was manufactured around Pearl Harber. -119315.
See the pics.
