I spent a few hours working on the drill today. Mostly cleaning off the paint and de-scaling the old castings. Therapeutic work to be sure.
I used up all my bloody wire brushes for the Dremel though! I will have to get more tomorrow.
It took three coats of Nitromores paint stripper to get all the old paint off. Then a load of wire brush and sanders in the Dremel to get all the old scale off.
The table support, cleaned up and ready for painting.
All the main castings cleaned up and ready for paint. I have also de-crapped the spindle and the main pillar. The quill needs finishing then I will mask off and primer the pieces ready for wrinkle finish black. I just need to buy the paint!
