As I'm putting my clone back together, just need to figure out what lube the ram with. I don't have any zerks or anything to keep it lubed. I was thinking some grease and just move it once in a while. Suggestions?
I put some way oil on the surfaces while putting it together. When I move it, which isn't often, I put some more on. Particularly the area that is about to move together. Just to help get it distributed in there. It's not perfect, but it does seem to help. I usually move it a little extra to help pull more oil in toward the middle.
I only move mine about once a year if that, don't do many jobs that require it to be adjusted. I don't have way oil so I use chainsaw bar oil, same oil I use on rest of the mill ways and the lathe ways
