Wow! That acid did a nice job on the chuck.

Wow - that did come up nice Bob.
Knowing my luck I would get side tracked and forget and then come back to an empty bucket! At least with the electrolysis there is no harm done if you forget about it.
I haven't reversed the process Steve - is it something you recommend?

When and if I get around to it I'll report my findings.

I haven't had to clean the anode much since changing to graphite (although the electrolyte gets very black, very quickly) - works just as well, as far as I can tell, either for electrolytic rust removal or in an anodizing setup. I use arc brazing rods and strip all but an inch of the copper coating with ferric chloride (for etching PCBs), leaving somewhere to solder connections, much more reliable than clamps and clips.

Hi
Lads
Cleaned the grinder up a bit
The motor is not very quiet I stripped it and cleaned the bearings re packed with grease
A lot better (the bearings are specials)
I turned up a couple of bosses and mounted a green wheel
A bit play with a 60 deg threading tool very happy with the results

John;
I have a few parts for a Tip-Lap if you can't save something.
