I finally received my HF Mill Drill 33686 on July 21. When I unloaded the mill and stand (still in the crates) in my small drive under garage they smelled real...
You may want to repaint these surfaces with a non-toxic paint just incase they are toxic. My HF 9x20 lathe has always had a slight smell to it but nothing what...
I had to get rid of the rubber mat that coverd the ways. I don't know how the chinese make rubber ptoducts but it stinks. I get the same smell with chinese...
Hi,  That is a difficult question to address. The degree of sensitivity to the thousands of compounds found in and around the home makes the investigation...

Whatever you do, Don't chew on it! :^) You might try a heat gun to dry it out, but getting the table hot is hopeless. Alcohol or mineral spirits might help or...
Hello every one, Well I am making a power supply using an antek toroidal. This will be feeding my gecko drivers and stepper motors for a CNC conversion on my...
Be careful taking off any paint as there is most likely an undercoat of material that fills in the rough spots in the castings and if you remove it your not...
Not quite true, if you spray with WD40, yes, the vehicle will evaporate. But it does leave a waxy coating to prevent rust. If there is something you routinely...
Hi Steve,  I will avoid the banter of what is an oil and what isn't. All are free to use whatever he or she wishes. WD-40 has a rather long history of...
Hi Keith,  Very good point.  I found a spot of two where the "Bondo" didn't hold well.  Take care, DBN ... From: Keith Mifflin <keithmifflin@...>...
The "fact" that it is "not oil" is irrelevent. WD-40 works very well to protect against rust, if re-applied every few months. It's all I've ever used to...
Yup.. as soon as I removed the rubber way cover it went away. I had some bellows type material that I liked better there anyway. When I removed the offending...
Proponents of WD-40, WD-40 is absolutely one of the poorest rust preventatives that you could ever use. Not only is it a poor rust preventative but the damn...
Hear, hear! I agree with you. Other products are far superior for preventing the start of rust on your machinery. WD-40 is best for stripping the greasy...
The way cover replacement made a tremendous difference next will be the belts, the belts smell allot like the way cover. I stopped at Napa today and had the...

I agree, but I would use the notched black belts from the usual suspects. The green belts are fabric covered for clutching applications and designed to slip...

Huh! So..... I guess my machines are actually all rusty and stained, even though they all look *exactly* like they did when I first uncrated them all those...
I agree with Ray on this one, I had wood heat in a very old shop in SW Washington the only way I could keep my machines from rusting was a good spray of WD-40...
I had smelled bad plastics before and I couldn't remember where till this morning. Some goggles you get for using with oxy acetylene stink real bad. I wonder...
