Bridgeport Model "e" Shaper Or Slotting Attachment?

600W wasn't the weight of the oil, it was a marketing ploy by Ford Motor Company. I'm betting this stuff will do everything you need....
 
600 weight steam oil equals 140 weight gear lube. I researched this for my VN mill, and found the info online somewhere.

These products don't have EP (extreme pressure) additives that break down brass bushings/parts? You run them in your Bridgeport E heads?

Do you also use it in the side oiler cup? I have the operators manual on file but am having trouble finding it.

edit mobil vactra a way oil for side oiler, is southbend oil ok?

The side oiler cup uses way oil from what I've read. That lubricates the ram. The 600w is for the worm gear and crank case. I found a Lubriplate dealer not far from me, and will call them tomorrow to see if I can buy a quart of #8. Everyplace online lists it for sale by the case for $165 to $180. That is several lifetimes worth for one machine.

Just found manual, side oiler uses mobile vactra like southbend way oil, thick,sticky
 
Good news! Today I contacted Motion Industries in Elgin, IL. They are listed as a Lubriplate dealer in our area. They didn't have Lubriplate No 8 in stock, but they ordered me a quart from Chicago, and said it should be here on Monday. Cost is about $17. Thank you to Quattroclick for the pointer to Lubriplate No 8! :grin:
