    TL spindle bearing grease

    Does anyone know what type of grease should be used on the spindle bearings?
    Im getting a rattling noise yet again now that it is colder even though i run the warm up program before using. I want to regrease the bearing so hopefully this wont continue to happen every winter

    Grease? Do you have a maintenance manual? Might should start there. I tried uploading it, but after 10 minutes gave up.

    I only have the operators manual and its not in there. I phoned up haas and they didn't even know and had none in stock. All I know is that its a red grease

    I think the red grease supplied by Haas is similar to Mystik JT-6 multi-purpose grease that contains less than 15% lithium.
