Based upon a combination of Tom Miller's recommendations and my laziness, I
ordered ALL my lube oil and grease from McMaster-Carr. Here's what I got:
Teflon Grease:
Synthetic Grease With PTFE 3-oz Tube, Nlgi #2, Translucent White, 1378K31,
$4.98
"Super Lube"
Type A Spindle Oil:
Mobil Velocite #10 (107 SUS), 1 Gal, 2158K24, $10.44
Type B Gearbox Oil:
Turbine Oil (215 SUS), 1 Gal, 14155K62, $8.02
Type C Screw/Gear Oil:
Multi-purpose machine oil (325 SUS), 1 Gal, 1024K17, $8.02
Also, Way Oil:
Way Lubricants (325 SUS), 1 Gal, 1017K11 $8.44
I decided to try the "Way Oil" even though it is the same SUS (325) as type
C, and even though that's all SB calls for. It says it is supposed to be
tacky and cling to the surfaces better. We'll see.
