I acquired a Kwik Way VS valve grinder in working condition, just dirty.
The first thing I want to do is clean it up and lubricate before I put it to work but the manual doesn't state what oil to use for the lubrication cups.
It only states that ATF should be used on the chuck shaft, that's it.
I would guess WAY OIL would work but would like some reassurance.

Also as for the cutting fluid goes, can ATF be used for cutting fluid? I have read it works but would like some input.
 
I have an old THOR valve grinding machine and I just use 30W motor oil for the bearings. They are not precision bearings and don't spin very fast. No problems in 30 years of use.
