    Default Lubricants for AL 320 G

    Hi all,
    Hope everyone had a great Christmas. I recently got my self an AL 320 G lathe from Hare and Forbes and the instruction manual gives a new meaning to the word "translation". As far as I can work out grease 3#Ca is an old type calcium grease and oil 20# would just be a 20 weight oil like Tellus, etc. As most greases are lithium based now with moly additives I guess they would be ok. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi RPG,
    Welcome, this manual may help. It looks pretty much like your lathe minus the milling head and the carriage motor controls.

    Check out this thread... the discussion concerning suitable lubricants should apply to your geared-head lathe as well.
    The first step towards knowledge is to know that we are ignorant.

    Here is another thread from last week

    Supercheap autos carry 20 liters of shell in 68 grade for $100.
