I have a CNC router with ball screw drives. The manufacturer says to use 3 and I Machine Oil to lubricate the ball nuts.
Nothing against 3 in 1 oil except it comes in very small volumes and in a crappy container. I want something equivalent that I can put in a oil can/pump with flexible spout that I can lube the machine with. The purpose of the 3 and 1 is to clean the ball nut and lube it so you do use some volume and need a way to get a decent flow to each of the 4 ball nut drives on the machine.
Is there an equivalent/alternative to 3 in 1. I looked at MMO but quickly decided it is more for cleaning and doesn't have the lubricating and longevity properties needed to replace 3 in 1.
Edited: had called it 3 and 1!
