109 Craftsman and Dunlap Lathes. The before is the Gray Craftsman lathe, the Dunlap was just more oil and grease. Both taped up and sand blasted and re taped again then painted.

How in the world do you clean up oxidize/rusted metal like that!

I used Evapo rust to de-rust. Aircraft paint stripper for paint. I had to buy one gear change bracket, 14.00 on Ebay. I also replaced a bearing and the belt.
