RE: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Re: What Grease

Try this grease its a polymer that will go to high temp and does not spin
off. typical grease can be wiped off. oil sticks that why they use oil the
centrifugal force push grease out and generates heat melts the grease and
relubes it self. this grease has some quarks it stays a solid till put under
pressure then will go to semi liquid state resist most solvents as well as
water.
Been tested by university of New Mexico

Contact me off list and I will send you a sample to try
Callcbm@... I looking for testers

Check the bearing manufacturer.

the oil used at low speed is thicker than for high speed as the
bearings get hotter, they expand and the viscosity plays rolls both in
heat and lubrication.

Reading about synthetic oils and it appears that in WWII, the reason
synthetic was needed (besides it being able to work in temperatures
that would burn off petrolium oils) was that it was so much more
cosistant.

refined oils at that time were full of junk. today, the standard oils
are so much higher quality, they are said to surpass the synthetics of
those early years.

True synthetics may have additives that nind with the metals created
an even more slipper surface.

My lathe spindle (old south bend) does not have ball bearings, but is
just metal seperated by a thin sheet of oil. Evidently, South Bend
recomends one viscosity for low speed and a different viscosty for
high speed.

But, I have been using a CAstro Synth-blend as way oil and it looks a
lot wetter than anything else, and it just holds the surface. I am
impressed.
