I'm trying to determine if there are some lubricants that I can use for both my South Bend 10L and Bridgeport 2J.
For the ways, it looks like Vactra #2 will work for both.
The manual that I have for my Bridgeport calls out "light spindle oil" for the spindle bearings, where the specs I have for the South Bend spindle call out ISO 22 machine oil. Will the Mobil Velocite #10 work for both?
For the spindle downfeed on the mill, the manual calls out "Vactra Heavy/Medium". For the gearbox and apron on the SB, specs say 32 ISO. Will Mobil DTE 24 work in both applications?
If these are inappropriate choices, are there others that will work better?
Thanks,
Jeff
