Hello,
I have a small gloat (Ha! I know, no photo and it doesn’t count.) and a couple of questions.
A friend, who was moving and had no place to use it anymore, gave me his Ryobi 10 inch bench top (Model DP 101) drill press. Since it had been sitting in a damp garage for a few months, it had some light surface rust on the column, so I used some 0000 steel wool to remove most of it. So, one question is, is there anything better than that to remove the surface rust? And what, if anything, should I apply to the column to inhibit rust in the future?
And since he had no manual with the drill press, I’d like to get one. I know that there isn’t much to using a drill press, but I’d still like to have a manual for it. Do you think that I could get one from Ryobi, or is there an online site where I could download one?
Thanks,
Louis
