Anyone know a source for the grease cartriges that came with machine?
Or…a fitting to adapt onto regular grease gun?
I just bought silicone grease mini cartridges off Amazon. Looks like essentially the same grease to me and it works just fine. As far as adapting to a regular grease gun, I haven’t gone there yet. When I do, I’ll want to hook it up to my Ryobi battery powered gun!

My beef with using the Avid recommended lithium grease is how messy it is and tends to get on everything remotely close to the rails/bearing blocks. I have black grease spots on almost all my work clothes. I switched to this Super Lube grease that I have used on previous CNCs:
It is clean and works just as well if not better than the lithium grease. I can’t wait for all the black stuff to work out of the bearing blocks and regret the day I pumped them full of the black lithium grease.
I will have a look, thanks.
The stuff I got was red
Ohh… I’m going to order some of the Super Lube right now and give it a try. It’s time to hit the bearings again, so now is a good time. Thanks for the info.
