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.

I don't know. It is a black liquid. (girlie answer)

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
