Oils for a Surface Grinder

[tjb]

I recently fell into a price-too-good-to-refuse on a Reid 618V surface grinder. Old machine but I've had the opportunity to operate it a little, and it seems to be in extremely good condition. I ordered a reproduction of the manual that leaves a lot to be desired. One area that is virtually non-existent is what kinds of lubricants I should be using.

Any recommendations?

Wow! That's way more information than what's included in the manual I bought on-line. Thanks!
