Getting surface planer back up and running

Mar 15, 2009 5 Replies

After a bit of a hiatus, I'm getting ready to make sawdust again. I'm reading over the manual for my Delta 13" planer, and it recommends "extreme pressure lithium grease" to lubricate the gears. Where is one likely to find such grease? Wal-Mart? Auto parts store? Ace Hardware? Dedicated tool store?

For the exact fit, a Delta authorized repair facility. After that, like Robert mentioned, automotive "disk brake" wheel bearing grease. IIRC this is a common lube in the boating industry.
