As far as getting the stuff, I'm going to try out (Big) Tom Miller's
recommendations and order some of each of the oils and the grease and try it
out.

From the SBL lubrication chart:
Machine Oil Saybolt Universal Viscosity Rating in Seconds at 100
degrees F.
Type A: 100 sec.
Type B: 150-240 sec.
Type C: 250-500 sec.
Usage:
A e.g. spindle bearings, B e.g. gear box, C e.g. spindle thread,

dovetails.
Oh, and Teflon grease for the back gears and spindle cone.

I have noticed a lot of reference to Type A, B and C lubricants.
My lubrication chart does not reference this information. It only
shows the
following three viscosities.
100 - Spindle Bearing and Apron Reserve
150 - 240 - Gearbox, Counter shaft
240 - 500 - Everything else.
I purchased some Turbine Oil Which I do believe falls into the
240-500
viscosity range.
Are this viscosity's refer to the A B C?
