DW735 replacing bushings on feed rollers

[937527]

When replacing the bushings for the feed rollers, what type of lube is required for the new bushings? When I pulled the old ones off (one was messed up and jammed) they seemed like whatever was on for lube was extremely thick. Any thoughts?

Thanks

Hi rejd,
Well technically none.Dewalt uses a self lubricating bronzes bushing.Putting any oil or grease on them will attract dirt and act as a lapping compound accelerating the wear of the bushing.I guess you could put some powered graphite on them if you wanted.Hope that helps.Good luck.

Great, thanks so much. I was wondering that but there was some thick "grease" like substance on them. Wonder what that was.
