Citric acid rust removal on tipped tooling.
Here are some of the results of my efforts to resurrect the bucket of rusty tooling that came with the homemade metal lathe. (See antique and vintage machinery)
I had a small container of cooking citric acid and used a shallow plastic tub, hot water and a squirt of detergent and metho.
Left the tooling in for 3 hours to overnight depending on condition and room in the goo.
I did give it a scrub with an old wire brush about halfway thru it’s time in the tub.
Rinsed with the hose, dried and cooked in the oven for 1/2hr at 180 or so.
I then hit them on the wire buff and gave most a coat of lanolin.(couldn’t find the G15)
A lot look terrible but the tips are fine.
About 8 are too big for the Macson so I’ll mill them down to fit.
I might tidy up some of the smaller ones on the worn out side of my 30” double disc for appearance sake.
