Caged bearing lube

[Gragson]

I've started stripping a Pollard drill - I was just going to clean it ..., slippery slope.
Caged bearing top sindle is good but a bit dry, would Moly CV grease be ok (have that) or something else needed? 3000rpm max spindle speed.

Cheers

Any half decent grease should be fine in it.

Don't use moly if they are precision bearings, use a lithium instead

A bit of something being better than nothing

Lithium grease like EP2/3 would work for a drill.

anything more precision I really like this kluber grease but it's super expensive.

Lithium EP2 granville - found it -TF i didn't order some, 500g tin! - Thanks a lot fellas!
