I clean off the threads with a toothbrush, a very light spray with penetrating oil, then wipe off again. Works for me but I'm not a pro user.

Whenever the place you're going to grease is accessible by wood shavings, I personally use that ptfe "dry" spray. If you use anything that remains "wet" like grease, the shavings just cling to it and gum up the works over time. I also use that stuff on my plane and thickness beds.

I would agree with you,I was taught that too, but some time ago, I loaned my scheppach 260 to the only man I could trust with it.
when i went to collect it, I was horrified, as he said that he had oiled the 4 bed post threads with 3 in 1.
Long story short, never had any troubles and it really is easier winding up the bed!
NOT RECOMMENDED! but i would oil mine now. Regards Rodders

I use the same stuff I use on my bike, it' drys so that you don''t get mud and dust clinging to the chain and turning into grinding paste.
GT85 it called, not sure it there's anything in it that you would not want to get on your wood.

Boeshield T9....

I've tried the dry PTFE's and all the other usual suspects of paste and wax, etc and Boeshield is (IMO) an improvement.

Have a look at Toolstation and search 'Lubricants' they have a good selection, PTFE, White grease, Chain spray, Protection wax etc etc etc. no doubt other places do this kind of stuff but Toolstation have free postage.

I have always tried to keep threads and roller tracks clean and "dry" and free from grease. A good and frequent blow out by a compressor usually eases things. You could try rubbing on candle or beeswax.

I got ptfe spray works a treat.
