I purchased a Shoptask combo mill/drill/lathe about 10 years ago and never used it. It has been in storage for about 7 or 8 years. When I stored it I coated the ways with what I thought was grease that came with it. Well after closer inspection it is some kind of cutting lubricant that had the consistency of grease! It kept any rust from forming on the ways and the mill table, but it is very sticky. What should I use to clean everything up/ Also what should I use for lubrication? Where at and how often? I know these questions show my ignorance, but I don't want to damage something that I may finally have a use for.
