I have a 3 jaw and a 4 jaw that I took apart for general cleaning and derusting. Im wondering what type of oil you should use on the internal components, such as the scroll for the 3 jaw and the jaw screws for the 4 jaw. Would way oil be appropriate? It seems like youd want something a bit heavier.
As an aside, i know youre not supposed to use grease in chucks, but my 3 jaw (an old union manufacturing chuck) had grease in some pockets around the outer edge, not on any of the moving components. It looks like its purpose might have been to collect and hold any stray chips that did make it into the chuck-thoughts on this? It seems like a clever idea, and I cant imagine what else the grease would have been for
