Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Greasing linear rails

Hello Chris,
Depending on what you will use the machine.
Personally I am an enemy of grease in any machine where dust can settle.
Because grease and dust result salve setting compound>>>> Wear!!!!
Therefor I nearly always use Way oil like Esso Febis 68 or Mobil vactra

Best with central oiling system (bijur) or similar.
Best luck
