When ordering your new mill or lathe it's well worth considering adding all important lubricants, and by buying at the same time as the machine you can avoid any extra delivery cost. 

We recommend slideway oil for lathes and mills. This especially formulated lubricant has been specifically designed to adhere to bedways, even vee slideways and dovetails.

For machines with gearboxes, headstock, thread cutting and apron it is wise to hold a small stock of headstock lubricant.

During the winter months anti-rust protection is wise. Unprotected surfaces such as chucks, exposed columns, milling table, lathe cross slides are all prone to rust. Temperature changes quickly cause condensation which can result in rust overnight. Our anti corrosion protection when applied to unprotected surfaces will eliminate rust problems. 

It is worth considering that the slideway lubricant and corrosion protection containers will last you for several years, depending on the size of your lathe or mill - a worthwhile investment for the care of your machine.
