picked this up sunday, wanting to build a rolling mill for bladesmithing 40$ 3ph 1.5hp should be 43rpm on the output

Fantastic idea...thanks! I already started a sump flush with kerosene (already had 5 gallons to do the sump on my K&T) but if the smell gets too bad I'll switch.

I like what Keith Rucker does, he takes his equip outside and power washes it. Makes total sense on big items.
Then he WD40's the slide ways and machine areas to prevent flash rusting.

A quick wipe with mineral spirits before painting will be all thats needed.

@G-ManBart if you still have that on your trailer, you can take it to a do it yourself car wash and spray it down with degreaser, then use their hot water and soap to clean that up.... looks like you have a steel deck on that.

And that's on top of the previous three piles. The land lady and I had a heart felt conversation over the weekend

Did she want in on the action ?

Well, I did point out that this pays the rent AND I was the one that tidied up their garage so I could fit all my crap in it

You know that we are all happy to chip in and help pay the rent .

I can think of a George Thorogood song based on that

 

[Just for fun]

I said, "You let me slide? I'll have the rent for ya tomorrow, the next day, I don't know."

This arrived yesterday. Nice touch including the mousepad. We all still use mice but almost nobody gives mousepads away anymore.

PTG delivered a bolt today for this nut. It's the action that I raceway reamed to 23/32" as posted in POTD. I hand lapped it until a .7168” gauge pin just glasses through, and ordered the bolt ground to .7165”. Hopefully it stays nice and glassy when hot from shooting. We shall see.
