makes good grinding pasteOrdinary Grease kills chucks if you’re machining cast iron
I’ve always just oiled mine
This is what was recommended in a few places for hydraulic chucks that need greased when I was trying to find out what should be used.I bought a tube of the special anti-seize chuck grease:
MOLYKOTE™ TP-42 Grease Paste | Silmid
Molykote TP42 is a light coloured adhesive grease paste with solid lubricants for metallic friction combinations. Available to buy from Silmid.www.silmid.com
...because I'm worth it.
Seems to work OK.
Cheapest I found was as above, but only because they stock the 100mL tubes (I don't think Zoro do?).Cheapest supplier I found for it was Zoro.
