I posted this in the Taig forum, but this is probably the same as every other machine in regards to its needs.

1) what do you guys use for your ways, bead on the taig lathe?
can I use 3in1? or whats recommended?

2) the top carriage, what do I use on the screw? lithium grease?

3) what do you use for cutting fluid? (all around purpose ie aluminum, brass, steel etc)
