Wow, that's quite the difference!  I need to try that some time.

Hi vt,
                That's an easy way to clean up an item, much better than a wire brush, and no dust!

Leaving in citric acid solution overnight will give the same result without all the wires. I used to use the electrolytic method which works very well but is dangerous indoors as it liberates hydrogen and oxygen in an exactly explosive ratio. Since I discovered the effectiveness of citric acid I've gone over to using that.

WOW!  :bugeye:

That came out looking good. Apart from the obvious modifications........  :palm:

Good luck with the rest of the fix!  :thumbup:

Brazing some brass to the ways and mill it flat again will prob. take care of the modifications though.. and it tends to hold up well (seen it been done only) and well depending on your mill you can tighten upp the wise to the point that you get no play out of it. =)
