Re: I need to clean the rail and re oil it but which lube??

I have noticed the head moving has become a little noisy recently and upon closer inspection there is dirt build up on the ends of the rail so I suspect a clean and re grease is needed.

I have read super lube is best but looking for super lube brings up everything from Chinese oils to wd 40.
does anyone here have a link to the correct oil to use on a print head rail?

My plan is clean with some 99% ipa and apply a touch of oil and work it onto the rail using the print head.

Hi,

On our laser cutter rails we use Singer sewing machine oil which is a very light oil and widely available.
Works very well for us.

Regards,
David
