Change the 'color' of the steel on an old mill ???

<< < (2/2)

rleete:
Looks to me like it's just well impregnated with oil/grease from many years.  Throughly clean with an industrial degreaser and lots of elbow grease.  Then lightly oil.

The word you need is 'Shiny'  (to shine)  I used WD40 and scotch bright clothes on my machines and just oil to keep them as shiny as I can ( at this time of year the dampness caused by condensation will rust things over-night :()

Be careful using any kind of abrasive on sliding or reference surfaces - sometimes it better to just gently scrape the surface with a sharp flat  blade.

Oh, it look's as if I have a "dirty job that has to be done" in front of me  :bang:

... and I'll need a lot of "albow greese" !  :coffee:

Thx for all the answers !
