Bandsaw gearbox oil - Mobil 600W or alternative
I found a few older posts relating to BS gearbox oils, but nothing recent...
I've got a Hafco BS-250 horizontal bandsaw here that specifies Mobil 600W for the gearbox. I can't see that its readily available in less than a 20L drum, and I haven't managed to find a direct equivalent.
Mobil 600W is ISO460 viscosity, so I'm thinking any good 80w140 gear oil with 1b or better copper corrosion test (so it doesn't eat the bronze worm wheel) should be fine.
Something like Penrite Pro Gear 80w140 ? - or there is the option of going all out and picking up some Brobo lube at $70 odd for 2L.
Out of interest the Hafco cold saws specify DN SUPER GEAR 460 which I'd be comfortable with too, but again - not readily available.
Anyone been down this track recently and found a suitable oil that is readily available - or happens to know where to pick up a couple of litres of Mobil 600W?
