Re: Dynaglide substitue

Curt,

I wondered what the "Sure Shot" you mentioned was - so I looked it up.

Based on the results, I'm sure you meant to say "One Shot" by Hornady.

Here is a link to the product - on Brownell's web site:  "One Shot" .

Have you used One Shot?  On your Legacy Mill?

Thanks for sharing the existence of  "One Shot" - it will be useful to me in many applications.

Bill try the lamp oil idea? 

Liquid paraffin, is wax,It will not dry out, or pick up water, It last for Years in lamps with out any problems. it also makes the Legacy slide very easily, it will also make sure that the lead screw on other steel parts on the Legacy will not rust.  

Perhaps you could find a binder that makes the Paraffin dry quicker, and perhaps make it  last a longer/ ware factor???

On The Wood Chuck paraffin wax (caning wax) is the only lube. that you need, Sadly it dose not work as well on the Legacy,  (for a side line that I have not thought of, On my Shop-Smith, I use paste floor wax (Johnston & Johnston) ( I have never thought of trying it on the Legacy's rails...) It might work there too?

Dyna-Glide is a wax based product when I tried lamp oil for the first time, I figured what do I have to loose?  spray on, and then wipe off in a min. or two. (the alcohol or dryer makes it dry faster.)

By the way, Sure Shot has Dyna-Glide in it.  I too have used it in the past, Works, I cant say which is better?  Who know's perhaps mixing the two, Might give you a combination that you are looking for.   

Weirder things have happened? ;-)

Have a GREAT DAY.

C.A.G. 

P.S.   Happy 4th of July to everyone! ;-)

I would imagine most aerosol dry lube brands would work, dyna glide does not exist in my country I’ve used a locktite one it  works ok and a gun cleaning product called oneshot  so I would just go looking in hardware shops the reason for a dry lube is so the sawdust doesn’t stick to it and clog up the mill..

Anyone know of a locally available (box store) substitute for dynaglide?  Not a fan of ordering stuff on the interwebs.
