My chucks are enclosed. I have one 4 jaw for my wood lathe that
is bare bones - and it gets dusted and sometimes oil if it is to sit.

Wow, everyone will have ideas. At work our cnc chucks are lubed with black moly
based
grease. For an engine lathe chuck. a drop of oil in the right places works for
me.
Oil/grease does two things. Lubricates and attracts stuff. A secondary effect
is that
that centrifugal effects tosses it places.
So to cut to the chase, lube lightly with something, and clean debris that is
atracted
periodically.

Maybe put a newspaper catcher around it and spin it up to full speed
right after lubing to catch most of the centripetal toss?
(That word change ought to get things going around here. ;)
