My C3 Lathe arrives tomorrow! Meanwhile I've been getting the milling attachment in a fit state to use. Has anyone got experience of stripping down a C3 Milling Attachment? Here's a photo:

Beneath the graduated aluminium ring near the top of the photo is a dark steel block containing a bearing. I've rinsed bits of swarf out of it with paraffin, but it doesn't appear to easily dismantle, making thorough cleaning and regreasing difficult. Any advice on this problem? Also, the graduated aluminium ring rotates with the handle but can also be turned by hand independently. This 'slip fit' is controlled by curved spring wire. Should there be just one piece, or have I lost the other? Cheers, Scrim
