Does anyone know whether a Universal Support from a T7 will fit the mounts on a T8 please?
Many thanks.

General Tormek Questions / Lubricating the Mainshaft of a T8.
March 25, 2017, 01:41:03 AM
As a new T8 owner (not even fired it up yet) I was concerned on receiving my my new machine to see that the nylon bearings appeared to be completely DRY. So the first job was to search for "grease" on the Forum.
However, the various helpful comments posted varied quite a bit in the actual grade advised, with some even pointing out that ANYTHING is better than NOTHING.
As a long-time DIY fiddler, I am the proud owner of a tasteful selection of car, motorcycle and household lubricants, including General Purpose, Lithium and car Water-pump greases, and oils of varying viscosities ranging from standard 5-20W multigrades up to 140 grade extreme pressure gearbox oils. And some spray-on dry lubricants, both PTFE- and Molybdenum-based.
So any advice to whittle the list of options down would be very much appreciated.
My own leaning is towards the Water pump grease, for obvious reasons, but as I believe the ezelock mainshaft is made of stainless steel (?) perhaps the dry-spray moly would tend to "give a more durable coating to both the shaft and the bearing?
Much obliged.
