Just a Thought
I’ve been lubing my Machine’s QC Chunk with 3 in 1 oil and cleaning it,
each time I load a bit and adapter for a carving, since Jeff first recommended it.
I’ve tried just using my fingers, but unfortunately I have a mitt like a bunch of Bananas.
Then I remembered the little foam applicators I swiped from my wife dressing table,
when I was looking for something to apply a little lubrication to the “0” gauge engines I used to build.
They hold just the right amount of oil with out dripping or making a mess and
don’t leave any lint or fibers behind in the Chuck.
Also I often, put a small drop of 3 in 1 in the small recess at the top of the ¼” bit adapters,
then 20,000 rpm of the spindle lubes the upper parts of the QC Chuck that I can see or reach.
Ps. Yes, that is my original 60-V Groove bit and it's original adapter
