gear grease

[manhusbandfather]

I don't have my manuel here so I thought you experts may already know. I want to re-lube my TS riser and tild gears but I am not sure what grease to use. I think it is the white lithium grease but don't know if there are different types. Am I correct?

The owners manual for my 3612 says to use SAE20 or SAE30 motor oil to lubricate the tilt and elevation screw threads. Personally, I've gotten very good results using a non-silicone spray teflon dry lube. For me anyway, it seems to take longer for sawdust to start building up using the teflon dry lube.

Thanks.

I believe I even have some in the shop.
