That is my plan Dave, as I have seen some x-over charts that contradict each other. I guess the point of this thread was to generate some discussion on whether each machine requires a specific oil, or whether there is a task specific oil that will cover a range of tasks.
For example, my understanding of a way oil is that is should stick to the surfaces it is applied to but not gum up or cause the surfaces to stick together. With that in mind, I cannot see how the ways of a lathe are different to a mill or a shaper etc. Perhaps I am being naive but I am guessing that a job specific oil can be used on multiple machines with out adversely affecting their importance.
