Here we are in almost all its glory. I still have the fence to tackle but I was pretty tired of sanding for today. I'm drenched in wd40 lol. Popped in to see Roy at "Get Woodworking" in Newport, he was great. Showed him the knives/blades/cutters (whichever USB the appropriate term) and he said they were plenty sharp. Purchased this little moving dolly which is pretty handy, as well as a magnetic setting tool for the (insert relevant word from above here). All that will be left is the cleanup of any bolts and handles etc. aswell as the cutter block. Should I remove this? Or just try and get it with a wire wheel and then sand it?
Thanks for all the advice all, I'm pretty happy with the way this is coming along. Excited to start using it after all this time.

Oh and I almost forgot! He also hooked me up with some silbergleit to coat the shiny new surfaces!

You have done really well.
For the cutter block I don't think it would be easy to remove so I would clean up as best as I could. The blades once reinstalled will be higher then the block thus the block will not be touching the wood.

Well done
If you adjust the in feed & outfeed tables down the gap between the table will widen giving more access to the cutter block/drum (whatever it is called).

My stud finder has a metal option on it and that is good at picking up broken nails in used timber. I run it over any used timber before machining.

That's a great idea. I actually have a Bosch detector which was pretty expensive and supposed to be able to find metal pipes in walls. I'll give that a try. When I was at the shop I saw a Carbatec metal detector and it was only about $70. I expected them to be more. I'll probably pick one up next week anyhow

I am not a fan of silbergleit. It is great as a lubricant but doesn't work well as a rust inhibitor, whereas the wax does both.
You should come to our exhibition this weekend and I could give you my can of silbergleit and you could take your's back if it hasn't been opened.

Thanks for the offer but alas I opened it up as soon as I was done sanding because I didn't want any sneaky spot rust to come back in as it's still stored outside. I'm only in hoppers Crossing so if I get a chance to pop down anyhow I will, but I work in a restaurant/bar and hours are very demanding over the weekends!

Well done on the clean up. I find with rust there is no magic coating that keeps it away for ever you can only slow it down. These days I just use a wax furniture polish after cleaning the rust bloom with wd 40 and a green pot scrubber.
Just remember how much hard work that was and pounce on any little spot of rust as soon as you see it.
Regards
John

Thanks John,
theres actually already little spots coming up so I'll have to get some scotchpads and
keep them close. The silbergleit doesn't seem to hang around for long, ive run a few boards through and had to reapply it a few times. As treecycle mentioned it isn't a great rust inhibitor I will give the wax option a try

Sadly cast iron will rust without provocation. Silicone free paste wax is a cheap and easy method of keeping the surfaces rust free between uses. As you've found with the silbergleit, after running a few boards through a machine, any coating will be minimal to gone.
Nice work cleaning up the jointer.
