Certainly. Down to bare bones. Had to. The tumbler was rusted tight to the hammer. Took liquid wrench to free it. And only one of my spring vises would travel far enough to compress the mainspring to free it, that step always makes me nervous, flattening out an old spring like that

Yeah, I understand that it is not uncommon to have one break as you compress it.

For the uninformed like me.
How are Frontier different that Scotch Brite ? I keep Scotch Brite in lot of different grits on hand for general shop work. Fine ones clean nice with no scratching. White one is listed on 3M's spec sheet at 1200-1500 grit equiv. Is Frontier made out of a different material ? What do you figure the grit rating would be. William |

William
a frontier pad is a twist of metal ribbons, the edge does the cleaning - it is not abbrasive http://www.exploreproducts.com/big45...un-cleaner.htm here is a detail from the one pic you can see there are no marks on the original surface where it has been cleaned, the original color is not damaged- I personally have not seen a scotch bright that did not leave fine scratches under magnification, i know a lot of folks like them. I still need to get into the engraving with soft brush

Scotch-Brite pads are abrasive and leave microscopic scratches on the metal.
