Thanks. End goal is to have this used for manufacturing textiles, so I'd like something less staining than axel grease. I'll try the white lithium

I'm going to move this inside as part of a doll fabrication process>>1641629
, and would like it as clean as possible. I'm not super worried about rust, as I live in the desert. I would strip and paint it if I had time, but god knows when that will happen.

Any tips on getting the grease off? I Was just going to break everything down, use simple green, lube and go. Should I lightly oil unpainted / exposed metal like the screws?

More random questions:
-It seems unusual to have the ram NOT be affixed to the gears. Do have to craft my own ram?

-Do the two poles going up and down have a specific name?

-Does the faceplate that I will affix the ram to have a specific name?

-Does this type of press have a specific name? Like a "Dual [pole] spring return Manual Press" or something

Thanks!
