Sorry, another one of THOSE threads. Usually I can google around and figure this kind of stuff out on my own but this case is a little more sensitive so I could use some experienced input.
The machine in question is a Moore #2 Jig Borer. I don't want to assume too much with it given how dimensionaly critical these things are. I tried getting ahold of Moore a little while ago but they seemed a bit to busy to bother with something this obsolete. I've got a copy of the manual which requests the following lubricants:
Keystone #44 grease - for the variable speed drive. We use Lubriplate 105 for Bridgeport vari-drives. Would that work or will we need something else?
Keystone #SR-1 liquid grease - for the control motor.
Socony Vacuum Extra Heavy L - gearboxes and central lube system. Socony Vacuum is of course Exxon Mobil now. Other than that, not sure if I need heavy HD fluid or heavy way oil.
