OK guy, I'm a NOVICE with most of this stuff! THANKS For Your Replys!! googling has shown me somethings you have mentioned. the 'find' yesterday was Liquid Wrench Penetrant!!! My Best thus far. I

The advantage of EvapoRust is that it is re-usable. If you get the bucket it has a tray to put the parts in. Just soak and lift out to drain the liquid off back into the bucket. Rick

claire Please send me an. Email. I would like to make an offer to. Give this wonderful Lathe a good home. My last Message to the group describes my need!. All my stuff was burnt up. Books,

WD-40 works pretty well combined with a wire brush. Phosphoric acid is good, and I've used Coke to remove corrosion, too. Vinegar works OK. It's acetic acid in water. Stronger acids work

Phosphoric acid is the main ingredient in these rust removers I do believe. This is the best price I have found for it ~~$18

I have that set from Ebay. I have had occasion to cut metric threads twice with them. They worked fine. There are some shims to allow you to line up the gears but found them insufficient and made some

That's a great help thanks very much
