My machine doesn't run everyday, some days may only run 2-3 times a week. Before every shutdown I wash the machine down (with tool in the spindle)and last thing I do is wipe the spindle down with lint free towel. If I know I'm not going to use the machine for a while I'll spray some wd40 on the tool holders and spindle... I know I should be tar and feathered. I have LP3 but I don't like the waxy residue left behind. Have to have a solvent to remove it before use.
A friend recommended CRC3-36, I just picked some up today.
What do you guys use on your spindle taper and your tool holders? Do you use a solvent/other to remove it before using the machine?
