I would if the bin was big enough, the mill is 4' 6" high
It's stipped down, I've already done the smaller parts in a 45 gallon drum, I want to to pull the rust from the dovetail, on the main body of the mill body. I've used caustic soda and wallpaper paste, to remove the paint already
I had visions of something much smaller.
It's way too big and heavy, it stands 4'6" high, and they didn't worry how much cast iron they used when it was made, all assembled it weighs a bit over half a tonAah, a picture says a thousand words.
Could you not turn the base upside down and then immerse it in your drum, use a couple of wood supports across the drum top to stop it touching the drum whilst you electrify it. You could use a wire brush on the rest of the base. That should at least allow you to de-rust the knee dovetails.
