CX-500 Lube

vondegroot

bad design kills
New to me CX-500... cleaning up and wondering about lubing things. Shielded bearings I'm ok with, it's the grit roller bearings and I'm worried about. If spin the the grit roller when turned off, it it "catches" and stops, but I can force it through... Is that normal or indicative of the motor starting to fail?

And what to lube the top of the guide rail with? I don't have any Molykote EM-50L as spec'd... maybe a wipe of silicone or white lithium?

The machine works well, otherwise... thanks!
