Lathe Chuck Internal Lubrication

jeudi 29 janvier 2015

I have my small 3-jaw in pieces for a clean - it was getting a bit sticky when operating the key.

No real surprises, just a build-up of dirt and old lubrication, it should go back together fine.



But, what to use as a lubricant for the internal bevel gears and scroll support spigot ?

This thread does not relate to the scroll/jaw interface which will be lubricated with a light oil.



The chuck seemed to have remnants of a lithium style grease.

I have seen references to using lithium grease, high pressure 'tacky' grease, high pressure moly grease and heavy way lube.

Grease seems to be used on high-performance chucks that are fitted with grease nipples.



Is there any consensus on what to use ?



John.
