My only question is that it looks like Steve uses a milling machine for carding his rust blue. With all the spindle oil, way lube and cutting fluid I have to use on my Bridgeports, they are literally covered in oil; and we all know that oil will quickly ruin a rust blue job.

My bluing/CCH is in a separate room from the machining operations, just for this reason.

So, how do you keep oil off the carding wheel?
