Interesting - surprised it's an analog device.? ?A digital readout variant would likely sell well. I added one to the cart to see if the price came up, but only saw "Available on backorder". -- Lone

Re: Rust prevention
WD40 is kerosene (or some other light mineral oil) with a bit of the magic sauce that¡¯s left behind when the kero flashes off. It doesn¡¯t bond very well and so flakes off easily, hence the rust.

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

Re: Rust prevention
I would be interested to see how many of those who have recommended way oil, WD-40, ox gall, etc. have actually *used* LPS-3 or equivalent corrosion preventative for preventing corrosion. Kurt

Re: Rust prevention
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 .

Re: Rust prevention
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
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
