Hello all,

It's probably past time to get some proper way oil. You seem to be in
complete agreement on using it for the ways because it will stay in
place.


Shell Tonna 68 or equivilent is the way lube of choice for most
industrial machining equipment.

Spindle lubes vary so much, it would be hard to make a determination
here. If it is just a plain gearbox in a headstock, the 68 would probably
be just fine because of it's high-pressure and tacky characteristics.
