Brown and Sharpe 7743 Restoration + Lubriplate info

http://www.practicalmachinist.com/vb/general/brown-sharpe-7743-restoration-275066/


Probably the best I've found for holding up over time is the calcium-soap-thickened Lubriplate 100 series, with the very soft (NLGI 0) Lubriplate 105 one of my favorites for tool,-instrument-and-fixture lubrication. (I'll point out that although "Lubriplate" is often used as a generic term for "white grease", the Lubriplate company probably makes at least as many different types of oils and greases as a Major Oil Company, and they have widely varying properties in terms of water resistance, temperature resistance, ability to withstand pressure, and other factors.)

If you're not familiar with it, the Lubriplate 105 I mentioned earlier is widely sold through auto supply channels as an engine assembly lube.
