Super Lube For Lathe Cone Pulley?

[DoogieB]

I don't know how much grease technology has progressed over the years. I did check and the SuperLube I have in a can in the shop is NLGI-2 and that would be too thick.

Super Lube also has Super Lube Railroad grease which is NLGI-1.
Some of their other products are available in either -1 or -2.

Too bad he couldn't have been more specific about which grease rating he wanted in the manual. Looks like "normal" Super Lube is NLGI 2, which ironically NLGI 2 has an appearance rating of "normal grease" according to Wikipedia. I guess I'll have to google around more to see if people use NLGI 1 or 2 for this application.

I use the standard stuff from the squeeze tube all the time for rocketry. It's definitely not a very thick grease; it's not at all like bearing grease.

I use spindle oil. No real reason, it's just what I grab.

Way lube is a compromise between grease and oil and have used it for about 26 years.
