While Im waiting for some companies to get back to me about bearings for my Johnson Model B, Im starting to work on a Jet JMD 18 mill and have some more questions. Im curious what type of grease to use for the spindle/quill bearings. I want to clean and repack them. Also, what grease for the sliding splines?
Is there a specific break in procedure after greasing the bearings, such as run it for X amount of time, then adjust preload etc?? I dont know a lot about this if you cant tell.
Im just starting to clean the crud off everything and checking things out. It should be a good machine for my limited use. Thanks again for the help.
