grease

I have 6 Busellato cnc routers. Scm has stopped carrying there red grease that we have been purchasing from them for many years. Now they will be getting new grease at close to double the price. I was wondering what other compatible grease you all may have changed to for your Busellato machines.

Careful about mixing grease. I did that once with an SCM machine and I ended up with waxy plugs in the grease lines that prevented lube from getting to my bearings. Took 2 shifts to clean and purge the autolube lines.

Not sure where you are located Eric, but we get red Mobil 28 grease from Akhurst, for our CNC.

Be careful. The color is not the defining factor for the grease. Busellato had the grease dyed red. It is Castrol Spherol EPL0. If you put the wrong grease in, you run the risk of having problems like Mike described.

chevron distributors sell delo ep0 grease in cartridges for your busellato.
the red grease from the dealers was nothing more then a scare tactic to get you to buy it, thats why it was never labeled.
the delo ep0 is blue and works perfect even better is the price of 30.80 for a case of ten. I use it in my jet 3006. I also can get the vacuum cups for your rail and pods way cheaper then the factory.
I make my own grey gaskets, I get the material from mulhern belting, wrote a program in artcam and cut them out. use fastcap super sticky two sided tape. kubler nbu 15 and molykote for the ring and pinion. Kamon industrial has it all. you just need part numbers.
