    Default Scheduled Maintenance Question

    I am getting ready to do my First scheduled maintenance....I know my machine has 42 cut hours on it, and I should have done the 25 hour PM checks. I am planning on doing the 25 and 50 hour PM checks. At one of the conferences I attended, I was sure that the type of lube was debated.

    Is there an approved lube (Moly) the is recommended by Carvewright? I thought there was one lube that was not recommended since it didn't work as first intended, but was previously recommended.

    I have plenty of WD-40, need to get Moly (suppose auto store or hardware store).

    Thanks for sharing what you use.

    What about the lubricant that is used on the posts? In the video (in the maintenance section) the person has a tube and uses a brush to wipe what he calls "Molly" on the posts? Can I use graphite? I have plenty of that on hand.

    Thank You
