Re: Router life, getting better bearings,

Hello,

Many bearing mfrs. already use krytox in their bearings. But
most "bearing shops" don't have a clue; so you have to go the bearing
mfrs first... FWIW, krytox is a DuPont product.

Having said that, the better grade bearings used with any decent
modern grease will be a big improvement, IME.

Here's a link to show why you want to try krytox:

Hope this helps,
