I whole heartedly agree with TM51 protect, protect, protect with what ever you have available and don't be stingy, Far better to have to have a machine steam cleaned when ready to put into service than to have to do a complete teardown and rebuild which is what I may have to do to a few of my machines that were not properly put into storage. many years before I got them. And my Cleareman jig drill that I had left in the care of the guy who rented my old shop is in pretty bad shape My partner in the commercial property we owned together formed a holding company to collect the rents and take care of the properties had to evict the guy for non pymt. of rent but the holding company had allowed this to go on for several years before telling the guy to get out. My machines and equipment were considered station property but this guy deciced he was going to take it all with him he got away with 3 lathes 2 Bridgeport's 2 radial arm drill presses and a host of welding equipment and work tables beofer they realized what he was doing he had the clearman outside ready to comeback and load it when they caught him none of the machines and equipment were recovered and the clearman was just left outside for 6 years before I returned I loaded it up and put it inside a van trailer every thing was already rusted badly and not having any way to really deal with it at the time I dumped a bunch of old oil and grease on it some day soon I am really going to have deal with it.
