Street Survival Posted July 2, 2022 Share Posted July 2, 2022 Gentlemen, First, and foremost I hope you and your family have a tremendous 4th of July. Unfortunately, I just noticed that I am starting to get some corrision on the main shaft of my Super 1050. I have 2 dehumidifiers going in my basement and I periodically oil the shaft. I am actually surprised this is happening as I am located in Connecticut. Does anyone have fix for this issue as I don't want to ruin my machine? *** Thank You.

RudyVey Posted July 2, 2022 Share Posted July 2, 2022 This is odd for the north-east coast. I live in NJ and have two 550's in my basement and never have experienced any corrosion of any steel part of the presses. We run a dehumidifier in an opposite area of the basement where my wife stores our winter/summer clothes. Although we are very humid during the summers here in NJ I have not had any problems in my basement; it seems to be the same all year round. I do have a lot of machines with bare steel surfaces there as well (lathes, band saw, drill press etc) and never had a rust issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Street Survival Posted July 2, 2022 Author Share Posted July 2, 2022 I agree, I'm kinda shockered myself. The corrosion is blackish in color. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RePete Posted July 3, 2022 Share Posted July 3, 2022 Are you sure it's corrosion and not dirty grease/oil? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJC082581 Posted July 9, 2022 Share Posted July 9, 2022 You can try some very fine steel wool on it. Soak it in some motor oil and go light on it. That shouldn’t harm anything. Worth a shot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RangerTrace Posted July 9, 2022 Share Posted July 9, 2022 This post made me go check my 1050 last week. It's in my garage and hasn't been touched in months. Still rust free, thankfully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
