    I use hydraulic oil on the ways and in all the cups and holes. (Hercus 9")

    I get the impression that any oil is better than no oil when cutting and looking for a good finish, old books refer to using whale oil and tallow and lard.

    I use a spray on chain/sprocket lube for the gears, not sure if it is any better than chain and bar oil or not or if they are pretty much the same. Being in a spray can it is easy to apply.
