How do I lubricate correctly? was created by 2tinker
Hello everyone,
While building my future milling machine, I encountered a small problem of understanding.
There are grease nipples on the carriages of the linear rails and on the ball screws.
Which grease gun and which grease should I buy to lubricate them properly?
The nipple on the ball screw nut is somewhat problematic, as there is very little space between the nipple and the spindle nut block.

These are the carriages and ball screw nuts I bought:

Thank you and best regards,
