My "new to me" Central Machinery (Tida built) TD-1236E lathe chuck won't close all the way, so I broke it down and cleaned and inspected everything. It doesn't strike me as a precision piece, but serviceable, and I didn't find any noticeable wear. So now it's time for assembly. A quick google search suggests Bison recommends grease in their chucks, but some people recommend a heavy oil. The machine manual doesn't say either way. What say you?
