I just bought a gallon from Enco for 12 bucks. Should last me a long time. J ranchak 11-23-2007, 06:09 PM I posted this question before I had received my mill, I see that they recommend a 68 weight oil. I was thinking about Vactra myself. I think I can get some at Grainger. eaglej 11-23-2007, 11:30 PM You probably already know this, but 68 weight is an ISO standard- it is equivalent to SAE (automotive) 20 weight. J ranchak 11-24-2007, 09:08 AM I did not know that. I think for know I am going to use SAE 20 for the ways and I will get some Vactra when I place my next order from Enco. |
