Using Moglice or Similar to Improve your Mill Ways?

[Oldmanandhistoy]

Feeling much better now after my lie down just had a small case of information overload (doesn’t take much with my tiny brain lol).

Thanks for the info on lube systems will get back to that after more Moglice investigations. Had a quick look at the UK website, looks promising. Scott nice job and not just the lube system.

From first impressions from this thread so far I can see that this subject deserves more study. So I will leave it at that for now and get Googling for more information. If in the mean while anyone has more links on the subject that they think might be worth me looking through I would appreciate it.

Scott thanks for getting me started with the information about techniques of application.


Thanks again to all posters,

Hi again,

While searching for a source of Moglice which as yet I have been unable to fine in the UK I came across mention of Turcite B (here if anyone is interested http://www.midlands-slideway-grinding.com/products.html ) . I know this product if by another name is used on the Tormach machines.

So was wondering if anyone has had any experiences with Turcite B and could share your experiences?

Yup. Been there with Turcite, too.

It's basically easy to work with but my preference is Moglice if you are jumping through the hoops anyway, but I could easily see where the Turcite might be more attractive to some folks.

DeWitt is the only place that sells or distributes Moglice. For a European source of an identical product, Google "SKC". It's the same stuff essentially and is the eaxct product I have most of my Moglice experience with. Moglice and SKC handle and process the same for all intents and purposes.

John,Larry here.Sorry all my moglice pages were bookmarked and somehow were deleted.I filled out the info sheet to access their applications PDF's and received a message on my cell from a rep anxious to help,but but my cell "smoked"before getting the rep's name.They seem willing to assist the small guy.
From memory possibly Practical Machinist,
Moglice offered small kits to the small guys For ball nuts.The kit had enough for two ballnuts including cleaner and release agent for $50.
Moglice also claims better damping on ways and ballscrews.Sounds like miracle juice.I will have to Re-Google to find the pages.

Thanks again Scott for the SKC getting somewhere with that now.

Larry thanks for looking in, your information may help guys on your side of the pond.

I’m a little surprised this thread is not getting more attention; maybe I am over estimating the benefits of such products over cost?

ok so basicly it acts as a sort of ''gap filler''

I think Turcite is a plastic you epoxy in place and scrape or machine while Moglice is an epoxy molded in place.
Scott,any experience with moglice nuys?
John,linear bearing rails transmit vibration while Moglice acts as a dampener like the E/G.
Here are some PDF's of similar to Moglice product.
