Could it be that the Rust Fairy is selective ?

It largely depends on what kind of atmosphere they've been sitting in, a dank or moist environment will rust even protected chucks far quicker than ones sitting in a bone dry environment with no protection.

I find some kind of thick viscous grease will protect chucks quite well when they aren't in use, you might want to rub them down when you do use them.

H.E.A.T

At a guess the two temperature bands are permitted storage temperature and permitted usage temperature.

The wider limit for storage.

.

Pretty sure the H.E.A.T stands for the Milan being High Explosive Anti Tank.?

OK, I will rephrase that.

With reference to the H.E.A.T

At a guess the two temperature bands on the labling are permitted storage temperature and permitted usage temperature of the ordnance.

The wider limit for storage.

As an aside,I came across a posting where someone was relating how his chucks were rusting all the time.

The strange things that my chucks never rust but the tools in my toolboxes do,odd? sure is !

I do have wooden boxes for both my chucks,but one or other is always on the lathe,but still,no rust.

Often when I take something from the tool box,I have to clean it up,and this after only a few days perhaps. Anti rust paper is not really practical in toolboxes. It,s OK for storage.

Could it be that the Rust Fairy is selective ?

 

Stuff in a cupboard stays cold and does not warm up quickly when you put the workshop heating on so all the moisture from your breath and any soluable oil will enter the atmosphere in the shop, find its way into said cupboards and condense on the cold metal surfaces.

H.E.A.T. high explosive, anti tank. The weapon is a Milan medium range, portable anti tank rocket. It will punch a hole in 900/1000 mm AP at 2000 meters.

Regarding H,E,A,T ,my question is would it stop the Mother-in-law at 1000 m ?

Now that would be the real test !!devildevil

Yes I know. I was responding to the question "what were the temperature ranges on the case referring to" and my guess was operating and storage limits.
