Leadscrew & Carriage Rack
Oil Type.....Grizzly SB1365 or ISO 68 Equivalent

Before lubricating the leadscrew and carriage rack (see Figure 76), clean them first with min- eral spirits. Use a stiff brush to help remove any debris or grime. Apply a thin coat of oil along the entire length of the carriage rack. Use a stiff brush to make sure oil is applied into the leadscrew threads.
Note: In some environments, abrasive material can become caught in the leadscrew lubricant and drawn into the half nut. In this case, lubricate the leadscrew with a quality dry lubricant.
