I have been doing some needed maintenance on my 14" Hendey 18 speed gear drive. I drilled the areas above the ways for wipers and will be making the wipers but did buy a wiper strip from McMaster. Have felt on the way. Also drilled and reamed holes for Gits 90° oil cups to supply oil to 2 holes 1/2" diameter made with end mill and will fill with felt in the way area for oil. I did use oil on the ways but it seemed to run-off and tail stock hard to move so I though since I was cleaning the tail stock, giving it a paint job I'd add an oiler. I have a tail stock on my L&S that has an oil reservoir that keeps the ways oiled so I added oiler to the Hendey. One down 3 to go!
Whats the best oil to use? Use the same in the tail stock spindle, feed screw and ball thrust bearing I also added?
