Afternoon guys,well this weekend I started providing my labor for pay restoring a 10L SB that is going to help fund my Clausing.I started disassembling the lathe on Friday and I think that someone may have started before me cause all the screws,gears,etc came apart very easy,no problems what so ever,then took apart the taper attachment down to the last taper pin.
Started with the tailstock,layed it out on some cardboard and procided taking it apart,then the head removing the spindle and backgear,again all very easy.Layed it out in order on a piece of cardboard,then work on the bed.Guys I use some of that Purple Power cleaner and it works great letting it soak for afew hrs.
I have one of those cheap power washers so I use it to remove the cleaner and grease,shavens,then a bird flew over and add bird poop to the list.
Guys I wanted to remove the chip pan cause it was full of gunk,but I be dang that thing was welded in several place which took a good part of 4hrs to remove it,then apply the cleaner and use a scrub brush then the power washer.
Today I spent time putting some primer on the tailstock,taper attachment,bed.I just use a brush cause I did not want to thin the primer down to spray.This will be the first coat of primer which I will sand down alittle then spray the sec coat trying to even it out some.
