Just curious if anyone has experience with electrolytic rust removal and oilless bearings..
The backgears in my Logan 1875 headstock are pressed onto a Quill that has oilless bearings, without considering it.. I put the quill through an electrolysis bath with the gears that needed cleaning. They still have that weird oily smooth feel they had before the bath.. I have read that bronze bushing will leach a small amount of tin out during electrolysis and just thought hmm..? wonder if I just leached out what ever component makes my bearings oilless.
Any ideas..?
