Hi, looked up this topic but all I found were posts from 2014 & 2016! Lol just need to know if either of these will do anything to my HD4. Thanks

I asked Nextwave the very same subject and this is what they said:


Clean the guide rods and lead screws with WD-40 and then lubricate with a dry teflon/silicone spray or graphite.
This is a link to what we suggest and sell for machine lubrication: http://shop.nextwaveautomation.com/shop ... ?itemid=40

One of the links you provided was WD40 with PTF which is Teflon (sort of), it should work.
