Show"N"Tell ( Your Machines) / HELP with transport wax
« on: April 17, 2015, 08:00:01 AM »
Hi there all,
not sure if this is the place but here goes.
I have been playing around with the Z -axis on my ZX-30 drill mill and I noticed every time I sprayed the thing its called the gibb (bit that goes up and down with the cutter power by the pulleys at the top) you understand.
Well every time I sprayed the Teflon spray it ran sweet for a couple up and downs and then slowed down, this Teflon spray is a no build up spray so it should not be a problem.
I found the transportation wax was soften up mainly due to the chemicals and the wax has to be scrubbed off.
Now I am getting sick of this, is there a way of cleaning for once and never have the problem again, I think this might be part of the Y axis I have problem now I really do not want to have to pull this mill apart as it is almost 90 % complete mechanically.
Hopefully some one known of some harsh chemicals that will not make the men in full body suits turn up , one step back, this machine is now about 6-7 years old and this is the reason why I was surprised to find more wax.
Cheers all hopefully some one knows a way of making my day.
bye for now Paul
