    Ball screw lubrication

    I will shortly be receiving a used CNC Taig mill with ball screws. Recommended lubricant? (and I am sure many more questions to follow - I have rudimentary CAD skills but this is my first venture into CNC)

    Thanks

    Google and the manufacturer's website and owners manual are your friends. For this question and I'm sure for the many to follow.

    Mobil Vactra #2 is nothing less than fantastic. We lube every machine in the shop with it and have for years. Hope this can help.
