I just purchased this 12X36 Grizzly lathe, used. It is covered in filth, grease, oils, chips.... I have de greased most of it with a spray on de greaser but question about cleaning up the motor area. Can I spray and wipe if in multiple passes or just saturate it ans wipe it down?
I am having some trouble interpreting the settings to slow or speed up the quick change gear box speeds and how that interfaces with the thread dial adjustment. I'm not sure if the thread dial adjustment is stuck in place ( doesn't want to turn easily) or if it interfaces with the gear box in some manner, causing it to not turn
And finally, at this point, I can engage the carriage using the half nut to feed automatically away from the spindle. Is it possible to travel automatically towards the spindle automatically.
Many more questions to come I am sure
Thank you
