Was an electrical engineer for pay, now I do engineering for fun. Presently into mountain biking the high jeep roads in Colorado.
I'm wondering how the next owners of my house are going to feel about the 3 ton lathe. For many of my friends it's an asset.

My friends are atypical.

No, it's some mechanical thing with a tube full of fluid which expands and pushes on a switch.

Hmmm, the unit is headed to recycling. Maybe I'll monkey with it a bit to see if I can adjust something. Still, I don't know that I'd trust the results.

It uses mineral oil. I tried to clean it off with brake cleaner but I think I just dissolved the oil into the resin pad. Sanding the surface didn't really help.

New pads are $5.
