Old guy here, scotch brite was developed for woman to clean pans. Us guys in the machine shop loved it also.

Hell they are hardened ways, if scotch pads are going to hurt it there's something bad wrong. I've been cleaning mine that way for years. Great info. I'll round up them tail stocks and email some pictures.

I work at a machine shop. We still use elbow grease for everything and I personally LOVE using these exact pads for cleaning. Great for getting cosmoline off with some wd40 too. I also use it on some of my rusty tools when I feel like showing them some love

Wire wheels are fine, they wouldn't be as hard on it as a scotchbrite i think. Always ensure to wipe them away from the crosslide and off the ends making sure that no grit or dust is left.

Very true, especially with the more course scotchbrite pads

Instead of brakleen, use kerosene. Gives you way more working time and has time to really soak into the grit.

I think that scotch Brite "grit" equivalent is sort of standardized, there is green light grey, blue, and rusty red. I can't remember which is course and which is fine grit, hah.

Brake cleaner and a paper towl should be a better option. But each to their own.
