Some times it just needs to be a complete strip so you can remove bad paint and rectify faults. My hobbing machine probably from the 1940s had revolting paint and grime on the outside and a layer 1/2" to 1" thick in the coolant tank which is integral but under the main unit, plus the slide had rusted and I planned on cnc so needed to get inside to see what gearing ratios etc were in it.
Cleaning was a white spirit to remove outer grime then wire brush on cast finishes, for joint faces I use a HSS lathe tool but ground as a scraper, not too sharp, great for getting the jointing compound or surface rust off cast iron without the damage a sharp wire brush can inflict. Some surfaces need a fine wet and dry paper(880-1200 grit) to make them pretty again. an example http://www.collection.archivist.info/searchv13.php?searchstr=barber+colman Dave Caroline On 29/03/2015, Peter Blodow <p.blo...@dreki.de> wrote: > Try to remove what can be removed mechanically with a scraper etc. Then > I use strong anionic detergents like in household baking oven cleaner or > motorcycle spray, letting them soak in for an hour or so, reapplying > wehre drops have run down or drying shows.
