I say use a LIGHT amount of lubrication because if you don't you'll end up wearing it and painting a nice vertical racing stripe on ceiling and the closest surfaces behind and in front of your lathe chuck. Ask me how I know.
Willie,
Any suggestion on the type of grease? I'm thinking "whatever is close at hand" and "something that matches the color of the ceiling" might be the obvious answers but if you have something specific in mind then please pass it on.
Thanks,
Arvid
