The manual for my Maximat lathe specifies "ESSO Nebula EP no. 1" as the
proper lube for the headstock spindle and pulley bearings.
Would this Dow Corning product be a suitable substitute?

I'm the third person to own this machine and would hate to mess things up, I
can't check with the last owner as he retired and moved back to Germany.

Thanks!
Charlie

There are a couple of moderately active Yahoo groups on the Emco Maier
lathes. I'd check there. I bet somebody has posted an equivalent.
