Lubricant Recommendations
The Drive Gears require a high string lubrication grease such as “Chevron Utility
Grease, light, high string for gears” (P/N 68-0020 - 1 qt.) or
(P/N 68-0015 - 5 gal.).
The Slide Rails and Tool Blocks require a light oil such as SAE 10 light machine
oil.
The Feed Screw for the Tool Block and the Tripper Block Assy require a
SAE 10 light machine oil for normal conditions, and under dusty conditions a
silicone,graphite or molybdenum disulfide ‘dry’ lubricant.
If you use a light film of all purpose grease, check it frequently for grit
contamination.
