Cleaning & Lubrication
Tool Rest
The support edge of the tool rest should be
smooth and free of rust, grime, and nicks so that
the woodturning tool can easily glide across.
If the support edge and post of the tool rest
become dirty/rusty, use mineral spirit and a
scouring pad to remove grime and rust. Then
apply a light coat of machine oil to keep the
surface smooth and rust-free.
If there are nicks on the tool rest, lightly run a
long, flat file across the entire length of the edge
to remove the nicks. Make sure the tool rest
edge remains flat and uniform. Wet sand the
edge with sandpaper down to 180 grits to
produce a smooth edge, and finish with a light
coat of machine oil to prevent rusting.
Tailstock Quill
The tailstock quill can accumulate dust and grime
over time. The steel surface can become rusty if
not protected. To clean the quill, loosen the quill
lock. Extend the quill all the way and remove it
from the tailstock.
Clean the quill body with mineral spirit and a rag.
Use a scouring pad if necessary, and be careful
not to remove the readings of the quill
’s depth
gauge.
If the tapered surface of the quill is dirty, remove
the debris with mineral spirit and cotton swap.
Do not use corrosive chemicals or anything that
can mar the tapered surface.
After cleaning, apply a light coat of machine oil
or grease.
Bedways & Underside of Tailstock/Banjo
When the bedways and the underside of the
tailstock/banjo get dirty or rusty, the tailstock
and banjo will be difficult to slide on the bedways.
Dirt and dust can be trapped under the tailstock
and cause misalignment issues between the
headstock and tailstock.
Remove the tailstock and banjo from the bed,
then clean the unpainted cast iron surface with
mineral spirit and a rag. Use a scouring pad and
WD-40 to remove rust as necessary. After
cleaning, apply rust protectants such as paste
wax or Boeshield® T-9.
Lubricate the camshaft of the tailstock and banjo
with a light coat of machine oil. This can also
prevent rust from forming on these parts.
Remove wood dust and shavings frequently,
especially when turning green wood. Doing so
can prevent unpainted parts from rusting.
