I just remembered a product I have used also, Permatex rust treatment.

Same thing BBS or Automotive places, Nappa, Auto Zone, ect

Greenie, Grayling, SS stand alone BS and BS SPT, jointer and belt sander, 3 Ers with Speed Changers. I think those 3 cover my ER needs, and space for them.

Ah.... they got an acronym for -everything- these days.
You were a 'Badger'? Small world. I was Golden Gopher. And a Wolverine! Ever wonder why the midwest schools are so nutty about rodents?

Re: Cleaning Tubes
Then you want to use the Shellac, Pentrol or the Permatex, these are like a film finish on wood, much more permanent then just wax. And you can use the JPW over them.suntower wrote:Interesting. I was just @ Lowes today and it was on sale. THANKS!
I have no problem using JPW, but frankly, I doubt I'll be using the Shopsmith all that often, so I want something as 'permanent' as possible.
As an ER restorer, I get those steel tubes, that are 60+ years old and in fair shape, but do like to shine them up a bit. But not to Show Pony condition, like some here, just decent and respectable, and I have used all I mentioned here with good results to seal them up and the pits with no rust after wards.

Re: Cleaning Tubes
JC, I had the upside down problem also, when using my Iphone. Here's how I fixed it for future pics; Before posting the photos I had to crop the pictures so they were wider than tall. When posting, I then review first.
Assuming we are both using windows 8 or 8.1, click on the single photo in the computer. This will give you a selection of photo fixes at the bottom of the screen. one of these is "crop".
