Hello All,
Nother kinda off topic post. I have just 'scored' and old craftsman
12" lathe from my work. They didn't want it and were going to surplus it sooo
I got it. Its got a four-jaw chuck and three jaw chuck and power feeds in
both directions and threading attachments and tons of stuff like parting
tools and live centers its a model 101.28980
Here's my question, its been sitting for a while and has not been
lubricated-adjusted or run correctly (I just found the 'lost' manual when we
were moving it-so thats how you ingage the back gear.....) Its got lots of old
grimy grease on the gears and I need to tighten up and basically adjust
everything. With the help of the manual I now know how to do that but I really
want to clean off the 20yrs of old grease and grime and give everything a
fresh coat of lubricant.
Can anybody offer any tips on how to clean up the old nasty grease
and or advice on 'tightening' things up??
Thanks,
Daniel in SF
