[PSUBS-MAILIST] Lathe Before\After

The acid goes in the porosity of the cast iron. Problem might stay for a while..

And you are surrounded by the salty sea.. Lucky that your Defender is galvanized ;-)

Hi Emile\all

 

Its a Colchester Triumph 2000.

 

Just had a lathe nightmare.  Sent these pictures this morning all happy with my weekends cleaning.  Went around for lunch to find all previously cleaned metal parts, now oxidised again, almost to how it was before I started.

 

Luckily a light lunchtime rub down has taken it back to clean ish, but it needs more.  I had oiled the beds and all exposed parts with WD40 before leaving it after my days cleaning.  Obviously its oxidised  up again, but why so fast?

 

I have cleaned it up as best I could in 20 minutes and left it literally swimming in oil.

 

Time for some serious googling......

 

Anyone any ideas on this rapid return to rust?  And in particular how to stop it?

 

Thanks

James

Ha, better keep it oiled to prevent that!.

Just in temporary old garage.  Cleaned up a treat with 20% hydrochloric acid...  Chucks and toolposts still to do.  Took all day this.
