Good morning all,
I just found out I did something really stupid when I built my CNC router, I believe I used something like an axle grease to lube the ball screws and guideway trucks. I don't have the container anymore (it was about 2 years ago I built the router) so I am not sure exactly what it was, I do recall it was probably red in color.
Anyway, I happened to reach under the router the other day and my hand rubbed against the ball screw - the grease on it was VERY sticky, almost glue like. I suspect it is drying out. At some point soon, this is going to cause all sorts of problems so I am going to need to clean this crud out. Aside from taking the entire machine apart, does anyone have any suggestions as to how I can clean it up?
Thanks in advance!
