Since it is late and I didn't feel like draining the oil from the auto feed gearbox, I thought I would finish off with cleaning the rails and T-slot bed, the bolts holding down the toolpost were quite hard to get out, and here is why, looks like a bit from every job this lathe has ever done ended up under the toolpost base, took a bit of shifting but now it looks pretty good, I forgot to take an "after" photo but trust me it looks a bit better than this : |
