Hi all,
I have just acquired a working Hobart Model 410 slicer here for practically nothing ($25). I have a few questions regarding lubricating and cleaning/polishing the unit. I had to use a little WD-40 on the slides to get the cutting width adjustment working properly and I got everything freed up and operating smoothly. But I would like to break this thing down and degrease it and possibly polish the aluminum parts. The reassemble and lube everything up with the proper lubes.
So my question is around what can I use to degrease this that is not too harsh on the polished parts and is ok for food equipment? Also, what can I use to polish this once it is degreased that is food safe since food with be touching these polished surfaces? I think I have found some lube that appears to be what I need which is by SuperLube and they have grease and oil that is food safe. Looking for suggestions on if there is something better that I haven't found and is there any tips on using this particular slicer.
Thanks,
