Slideway Lubricants

I've seen 5 Litres of the stuff at around £15.00 for Castrol to over £25.00 for the Rocol version but I'm pretty sure a litre will last me for quite some time. What do you guys use?

for 10 months you have been on the forum and you just noticed. Glad someone is paying attention. That sig line has been there a long time bro. Glad you like it. And you are correct in the translation .

Alternate translation.... Tel gave me a jar of it and I live 450 km's away and I had NO idea what it was called.....

Plus one on the Mobil Vactra... though I just got a quart of this Keystone way lube as a sample and it's very nice as well. Both seem to leave a nice slick film on the metal even after the carriage has been over it all day.

Either way, with just hobby use, our machines will outlast us 3 to 1 at least

Polly Model do "Multispec Slideway 68" in small 500ml bottles for 3.45, EKP, GLR and Blackgates all do similar for around the same price. Pick up some if you are at Guildford in a couple of weeks.
