Vactra #2 with an oil gun for the ways. You can make an oil gun by modifying a grease gun. DO NOT use grease under any circumstances! It will bind the machine up tight and you'll have to disassemble it to get all the grease out.
#1 spindle oil in the quill oil cup.
Lubriplate #105 for the back gears.
