<div style="color:black;font: 10pt arial;">I don't how many of you have seen one of these, but they come around every so often.
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Rockwell made these I think in the early 70's for a few years. There are two models. A 115 volt and a 230 volt.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>They were advertised then as a router/shaper. The router head can be removed from the overhead arm and mounted under the table</div>
<div>to be used as either a router or a shaper. One of the accessories that was available, was a 1/2" router shaft that would accept shaper bits.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>One of the great features is that there is a foot pedal which moves the table up and down, so it can actually be used as a mortising machine.</div>
<div>Another great feature is the router head can rotate on the arm for either angle shaping or angle mortising.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><span style="background-color: transparent; font-size: 10pt;">I bought it a couple of years ago and it has been sitting in the corner waiting for me to rehab it.</span><br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I tore it completely apart, removed all the rust, primed everything with a red oxide primer, and painted</div>
<div>it with two coats of Sherwin Williams industrial oil based paint, colored matched to the inside of one of the small panels.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I am now in the process of putting it back together and have a question.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><span style="background-color: transparent; font-size: 10pt;">There are six internal pivot points and I am wondering what is the best way to lubricate them without attracting sawdust?</span></div>
<div><span style="background-color: transparent; font-size: 10pt;">You can see in the second picture, four of the pivot points.</span></div>
<div><span style="background-color: transparent; font-size: 10pt;"><br>
</span></div>
<div><span style="background-color: transparent; font-size: 10pt;">I cleaned all the pins and waxed them with a high quality carnauba </span><span style="background-color: transparent; font-size: 10pt;">car wax. </span><br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Any suggestions are welcome.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks as always</div>
