Re: Rust prevention
Wd40 ? Really ? To me it seems to accelerate rust. I have other chems that have been good but since using way oil, I have not gone back to them except for very short term protection. george

Re: Rust prevention
I haven't used LPS-3... I have way oil for the ways and gibs on multiple machines because it sticks real well. Since I have way oil, I have not searched for an alternative since I have plenty of way

Grainger has been real good & fast with all my orders . Usually if I order by 4 PM it's in the building at 10 AM the next morning . They have gotten much better than they were with pricing years ago .

WD-40 is a sticky wax in a light petroleum carrier. When it dries, the carrier evaporates leaving the waxy coat on the surface. So it shouldn't be necessary to keep reapplying it. Mike Taglieri

Re: Rust prevention
Thanks guys! Chrisser- I'll probably stick with the oil just to have something a bunch of others seem to like. I did see the #2 when I was looking, but didn't know how much difference that made. There

Re: Rust prevention
There's also a product called Sta-bil Rust Stopper. I can't find the video but there was a comparison on Youtube. Supposedly comparable to LPS3. Also one called Fluid Film that is supposedly readily

Re: Rust prevention
If you search for way oil, there are sellers on amazon and ebay and other places that offer quarts, gallons, and pails. You can also add ISO 68 to the search parameters. Mobil Vactra #2 is one such. I

Been meaning to get back in here for a week.? :( So, I see the way oil recommended over the LPS-3 here? Is there a particular #4 I can try in small quantity (sub-30 dollar range)? I've got an Amazon

Re: possible worm gear & some bike stuff
I have preferred loose over caged bearing due to easier cleaning and you can have more bearings. The cartridge bearings are great as long as they are well seated. If they are not they can trash some

"I remain unconvinced bearings are better than cup & cone, I will admit they¡¯re less fiddly to service though." Actually, I wouldn't say "less fiddly" -- they never need service at all. My 1972

Re: possible worm gear & some bike stuff
Same deal applies. ¡°Better¡± bikes have actual sealed bearings (aka cartridge), the rest have the old school cup & cone assembly. These days most of them at least have caged balls (probably speeds
