Dial Gauge solvent?

(1/3) > >>

Arbalist:
I've got an old Mercer .002mm Dial Gauge that is sticky and takes an age to zero. It's not something I'll use very often but it's useless as it is so I thought it may make an interesting project. Also should it be oiled after cleaning with something like sewing machine oil?

Joules:
I like Parker Hale gun oil.  Got given a couple of cans very impressed, otherwise I tend to like hydraulic oil, bit heavier but good lube and doesn't gum with age.

awemawson:
If it were mine, I'd open it up and liberally wash it out with meths. Then dry it out slowly and apply a minute amount of the thinnest oil I could find.

Arbalist:
Sounds like a good plan, I'll try Meths.  :thumbup:
