It does prevent rust rather well.

Tim is dynaglide a rust preventive i use my equivalent (top shot) and it is
with the deadstock being a bearing one im in for $300 to get the headstock if
any members want to combine to buy this for parts
slowly rotating the leadscrew and a brass wire brush in a electric drill
would be how i would remove surface rust

Bill,
Yes this has the bearing headstock. I don't know of a 1200 without it.
The taller headstock above the rails is evidence.
Mac,
You're right about not assuming what comes with the mill. $800 is the get
it out of my shop, I can't sell it to anyone or I'm a widow price. In this
case I recognize the unit as being around for a long time. The index plate is
a Legacy woodchuck era dividing plate. To me, the rust is storage/surface
rust. Should clean up quickly with a scotchbrite bad. I use a red one. The
motor would be handy to run the par down the grooves. Any burrs on the thread
should be removed with a file. If the rust is not removable with that method a
brass brush and elbow grease followed by files and pads would work. Anything
more and buy a new screw because your time and mess is not worth it. I see
the shaft collars are rusted. Trivia moment, black oxide has minimal rust
protection. They might clean up with a new coat of oil and some rubbing with a
cloth, but in the spirit of saving time I would replace them with new units.
Yes elbow grease and electrolysis would clean them up, but where getting to
involved on a replaceable piece IMHO. The chuck looks like a first generation
Nova Chuck. I have two of them from when they came out and I still rely on
them today.
I agree about the other comments.
The angled spiral is just that. Tilt the bed and go for it. I think the
only tip ever mentioned about the tilted spiral was in the training on the side
fluting where or design where Dane (Gee I miss him) talks about taking the
average size of your stock and design for that dimension. Otherwise, too short
of a twist leads to collision of the router bit. I asked a long time ago and
there is an interesting thread about it in the ancient messages. I think it
even included a drawing. Search for tapered spirals or something like that in
the group. I know my drawing is gone because I lost a hard drive a while
back.
-Tim

6 nice long pieses of rail for enlarging or modifercations there

Hello All,
I have never seen a 1200 offered for so low. Makes me wonder about the
parts not in evidence in the pictures.
