Lubrication oils
#16
Picked up some ISO32 and I was surprised at how thin it was. I actually had to check that it wasn't water, as it is clear!

I was given a couple of cans of open gear spray and tried it out recently when threading. I thought it was good and quietened the gear train noise quite a bit. I plan to make a cover for my gears and they are covered whenever the lathe is not in use. Fortunately the gears are far enough away from the chuck that I am not getting chips back there. I am planning on making a box to store my change gears in, so they stay clean between changes. The only place I need to oil is the shafts that the change gears and the tumbler gears run on.
