Way oil available to pick up - northern Sydney
I just took delivery of 20L of Tacway 68 way oil (Tacway 68 & 220 - Gulf Western Oil - Gulf Western Oil). 20L of it will go bad before I use it all, so if anyone wants some send me a note and if you bring a container you can have some for what I paid ($6 / litre).
I'm near Wahroongah.
Phil.

Just to be clear this is for machine ways. If anyone is looking for a good buy for headstock / gearbox oil, Bunnings (eck!) sells Valvoline ISO 68 for $32 for 5L, ($79 for 20L in some stores): https://www.bunnings.com.au/valvolin...il-5l_p0066175
If you have lathe with an open screwcutting gearbox like my AL-960B you go through a lot of gearbox oil...

My Myford drinks the stuff ! There is a permanent puddle under the headstock.

Per my post it's an *open* Norton gearbox. Nothing to do with being Taiwanese. The screwcutting gearbox is open at the bottom: each day you squirt some oil into a pad at the top and it drips through some strategically positioned holes onto the gears and bushings and the excess drops into the chip tray. This is the traditional design of gearbox. At least it has a good design for the reservoir: in classic lathes (eg the South Bend 9" that's the template for so many small lathes) you squirt the oil up from underneath. You just don't clean the chip tray with compressed air or you blow all the chips up there.
The 960B is excellent. I'd rate it the best value medium workshop lathe in Aus right now. You can buy it for the same in $Au as the Americans pay in US$ for the same machine with the same features, and the quality is first rate. The design is dated, but the manufacturing equipment must be right up to date as fit, finish and (most importantly) accuracy are excellent. Even the 3 jaw is repeatable to about 0.05mm / 0.002" or so.
