I sold a circa 1935 B&S No. 2 surface grinder that had sat outside for who
knows how long, but the slideways on the table looked factory new with all the
original scraping marks, despite the paint all peeling off and rust all over.
Lube is life to machine tools. :)

Marcus often internal slides and even external if a good metal will
not have lost enough in rusting to make them unusable and any original
oil can keep most in reasonable condition for a number of years. When
you clean the surface rust with a scraper (not too sharp) and or wire
brush you can still see machining marks.
