There are numerous stories of beating the spindles out. Since we don't want the spindle to move but also not rust how do you protect the spindle (aside from using a SS spindle)?

Hey man! Don't blame me! This idea is your fault!

I am not sure where this thread has gone. The original question (I think) was in reference to protecting the spindle from rust and/or corrosion.

Russ, the short answer is to oil it and disassemble it every ten years. You could sync it with the census. :mrgreen:
Actually a smooth and square surface on the cradle helps, along with a spindle that doesn't wobble. But in the end it's a 'total loss' lubrication system.
