I use Lilly white sewing machine oil for a lathe as well as sewing machines - it doesn’t smell up the garage nearly as bad and is easier to get out of clothes.

 

 

That's very interesting - What kind of lathe? Do you use it in the bearings (and if so, are they plain or ball / roller?), or just on the ways?    I use tractor type hydraulic oil for my lathes, for the same reasons - I hate the smell of the Mobil Vactra way oil, that you're "supposed' to use.

Tom, apologizing, for going off topic......

The model number giveth, and the subclass taketh away ......... Sometimes
