I broke down and got some Vactra #2 for my ways, now the question is
what would do for the X, Y, and Z axis handwheel bearings on my Sieg X3?

The manuel calls for ISO 68 / 20W for the ways, but is that the right
thing for slow rotation, low load bearings?

PS. I can't spin the handwheels fast enough to smoke the bearings. Don't
even ask...
