An old, old trick. g


I know, and I've heard it before but the other day when I looked at my screw that is the
same only other then shorter, I couldn't remember that trick for cleaning.

I guess you win the been around long enough to know that one award. No monetary value.

Btw, if you haven't seen his model of lathe, it has a
rather fine pitched lead screw so a bit of dirt is a lot of dirt.


I don't remember it, but that would make it even more suitable. That's how I
clean the screw on my SB.


That is going to be my way on my lathe also.
