Eclipse Magnetic Chucks

[RobboParticipant @robbo]

Can anyone suggest the name of a suitable oil to fill an Eclpse Magnetic chuck?

The Eclipse handbook merely specifies SAE 140 gear oil.

I obtained a 5″x10″ chuck, and found it to contain no oil at all, no wonder it was stiff!

Google is your friend!

 

First search result:

Link to chuck oil

 

I am sure there are loads of other retailers selling the stuff.

Thanks for that, at least I know that I am not looking for some out of date product, and it should be readily available.   All I have found locally so far is 80-90 SAE, and that was EP, which additives don’t behave well with Phosphor bronze and brass, and I am sure there’s some of that in the chuck, if only in the operating lever bush, and that already oozes a bit.

Following the advice, I have got some Morris Lubricants AG140, and good it looks.   The only problem is I had to get it by mail and had to get a big can, so if anyone else needs a small quantity, as I did, then get in touch.
