I need to Know the oil types in all three Gearboxes: the main upper, lower cross-feed, and cross-slide gearbox. The manual is coming, but I would like to get my new purchase up and running this weekend.
Thanks for any info.
20 or 30Wt non-detergent or ISO68 or ISO100 hydraulic fluid would be sufficient.
In colder climates and unheated workspaces the 20wt or the ISO68 would be preferable
Generally you want a recirculating oil for the gearbox and a way oil for the apron. I'd wait for the manual but a Jet 1340 runs DTE 24 and Vactra 2. My lathes with higher top speed run DTE24 while the larger, slower machines run ISO68. Dave
