I have a mini metal lathe and I was wondering if the dust/debris from drilling blanks will hurt it in any way. Thanks for the help.
You're supposed to clean your lathe?Originally posted by skiprat
When I first got my metal lathe, I was overly precious about trying to keep it spotless. I do all sort of stuff on it including CA'ing, rounding up PR blanks etc. I even do wet sanding on it. However, I often get called out at a moments notice so have frequently left it for weeks at a time before cleaning. [:I]
Now I just give it a real good cleaning when I clean my shop. No damage yet ( Touch wood!!! )
