Reading Doug's thread about his Meddings drill refurb has got me thinking again (again) today about doing a refurb/resto on my old Myford ML8 lathe which is now long overdue . I have some fairly lethal chemical paint stripper ( Paramose) which I assume will be ok for larger flatter surfaces , but for more awkward parts I am tempted to invest in a needle-scaler - would this leave any marks or indentations on castings ?
Any suggestions welcome .
