Shop rats, I am assembling my new Delta drill press, and at the last step -- attaching the chuck to the spindle. Before I pound the chuck onto the spindle taper (which seems rather unelegant to this 'no heavy equipment' field technician) I am instructed to remove all the packing grease gunk from the components. Household oven cleaner is suggested, and I sprayed some on last night. As I'm getting ready to wipe the stuff off, I'm wondering if acetone would have been equally effective, and if I could use acetone to rinse off the oven cleaner lye solution. Hoping not to burn my hands and eyes off, Patrick Draine
