Grease or oil on a scroll chuck rebuild?

[TonyBen]

Ha! Thanks guys. I used a very light coat of way oil on the scroll. I stoned the scroll face to remove the burrs from the previous user's debris. I detail cleaned everything and greased the back gears. It's all back together now.

As for the rest of the stuff on the bench, I just finished a bedding job on a rifle last night. Marine-Tex is hard stuff!

Good to see people doing periodic chuck maintenance. Some people never bother & wonder why their chucks don't perform well anymore or start to wear more quickly than usual.

Motorcycle chain lube with moly disulfide might be worth a try, it's sticky and stays put (mostly)

Is that a place to put the oil in the face of your chuck. Just think racing strips. Wife just refuses to wash my stuff with hers

Ever find a sharp chip in your undies?

Nope, that's why I machine butt naked like ToT, problem solved!

Lol, yeah right. I do sometimes do some quick machining wearing slippers & no socks. Yep, I've danced around when hot chips hit my feet yet I still haven't learned my lesson & still do it.

Was at Lowes today & saw WD40 now makes this gel lube now under their Specialists line. Supposed to not run/ drip, showed applications for chains, gears, etc. Anyone ever try the stuff? I noticed it's a rattle can, has a mixing ball inside this stuff. I'm thinking about going back tomorrow to pick one up unless anyone has bad or subpar experiences with it (not actually planning to try on the scroll of a chuck).

This dry lube would not fling, I use it on lug nuts and might give it a try next time the scroll chuck is apart.
Available at Walmart in the bicycle department.

Haven't tried that particular product but their rep came by my shop several years ago and gave me a bunch of cans of the "specialist" line when it first came out. All seemed like good stuff and the spray tube assembly is top notch.
