   I bought a 7 x 12 Emerson new in 1982, and still run it.  The first 10 years   
   or so, I ran water soluble oil, or water based synthetic.  Had to replace all   
   the guide bearing about once a year.  Then I cleaned it all up, and switched   
   over to sulfurized    
   cutting oil, and have only replaced bearings one time since.  ---  Once, had   
   to remove the driver band wheel, and slightly recut it in the lathe, because   
   the band kept popping off.   Great machine.
