Well hello all and I would just like to mention that after 1 month of reading posts and getting info about lathes, I have finally purchased a Mini-Mark Microlux 7x14 Lathe. Getting it next week. I purchase all but 4 optional parts for it. I really hope this lathe is as good as some people say it is. I want to make RC Car parts and some Steam engines, yeah, that would be great. I will mostly use Aluminium and Bronze.
I would like to know what oil/lube I should use to oil the lathe with. I have purchased the metal cutting lubes but no one seems to know what lube to use for the lathe. Can I use Mobile-1 Synthetic 15w50 or 10w30 Motor oil?
thx
