My Taig is tearing it's self up (x ways). Not from not lack of lubrication either.
I cut acrylic & use water as coolant, yeah I know, water = non-lub, I know. I'm in an apt so standard cutting fluid is out.
I use bearing grease because it works better with the water.
I'm just curious as to why they would use aluminum on aluminum for the ways?
Had they used anything other than that I don't think this would happen. Binding, ok, but not gouging.


Thanks, Shawn.
