Hi Ken
Spoke to Brimarc (or Axminster Tools as they are known in the UK) but they deny all knowledge of this offer, and are certainly not participating.

So how does this work?
F'rinstance how do I go about getting a price for the DBS-22 drill jig?

Thank you Ken - another quick reply!

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

Wow, TEN replies in less than 24 hours, and from all over the world from America to Australia!
Thank you all very much for all your helpful suggestions.
The grade "SUPER LUBE" doesn't seem to have a direct equivalent in the UK - according to the company blurb it had a "micro PTFE" component.
But the next most popular item is ordinary lithium, topped up as often as your nerves can stand it. So, since I have some of that, it's favourite to try first.
Plus special thanks to GREPPER, for this week's Free Gift of Culinary Advice as well. I'm so inspired by this that I'm going to go right out and ask my wife WHY HAVEN'T YOU BEEN USING LITHIUM IN OUR MEALS DURING THE LAST 48 YEARS WE'VE BEEN MARRIED?
(I'll have a fast car with the engine running close by the door......)

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.
