Experts - I am moving my new to me Sheldon ESWQ 56" lathe out of my aunts basement this week. I have to seperate the bed and gears from the base cabinet, which was fairly easy to do.
I had to remove the bearing caps on the spindle to get the belts off. I figure now would be a great time to get replacement belts and also clean up the gears and bearings, etc. Underneath of the bearing caps, the brass bearings/bushings look great.
What is the best oil to use for the bearings and the other oil points on the lathe? What is the best oil for the gears?
Where can I find replacement belts?
TIA!
