Grizzly Moly-D Machine and Way Oil ISO 68

Why? It is extremely tacky and includes the superior friction-reducing compound Moly-D to maximize component life and minimize wear. Special problems are encountered in the lubrication of ways and slides of machine tools. At low speeds and under heavy loads, the lubricant tends to wipe off, producing higher friction. When the machine is operated at high speeds and low loads, a fluid film can form that will lift and float the slide. Since this film varies in thickness, it can produce wavy surfaces on the parts being machined or cause them to run off size. This is a hydroplaning effect, much like slick automobile tires on a wet surface. Excellent on lathes, planers, shapers, slotters, boring and drilling machines where the type of lubrication is usually pressurized oil circulation to lubricate flat, V-guide, or table ways. Also use on milling machines where wick oil lubrication is used for saddles and sliding ways.
