In the process of fitting the vertical attachment to my Sturdimill, I note
that the manual doesn't show any lubrication on the gears between the
column
and the attachment; these are in a 'dry' section with no greasing points
and
will have to be lubricated before assembly as the gears are inaccessible
with the head fitted. Any recommendations as to what grease to use? The
maximum speed here is 2000RPM on the smaller gear, so I guess a high
adhesion grease may be needed.

Chevron makes an "Open Gear Lube". Comes in a tube for a caulking gun
rather than a grease gun.
Thick, black, clingy nasty stuff. Darned near worse than prussian blue for
getting on everything, and
worse to get off. But it DOES work. Have a gearbox on a Dayton bandsaw that
I was rebuilding
a couple of times a year, going on it's second year with the Chevron lube.
