Lathe Maintance

Disassembled and cleaned the Sidney's compound.   Also cleaned and oil the cross slide but did not take it apart.   Too many chips.


The compound on the Atlas only had one pin holding the compound down.  Found a pin and ground it to a similar angle.  Both the new and the old pin are hard.  I don't think this is right.   Also the hole with the empty pin on the atlas has been drilled and tapped to the next size up.  Thinking of bushing this back down to the right size.  Less chance of over tightening.

Have obtained vectra 2 way oil and 2 gallons of 20W non detergent this month.
