Perhaps Keith knew that. Perhaps he was merely lying.


No Bill, I was not lying. The tiny gearbox was originally lubricated with a special grease intended for high speed dental tools, and the now deceased owner of MMC, Jon Doiron offered a repair service to replace that grease if the handpiece began running hot. Like any grease, it dried out and deteriorated over time. I still have a letter from him on his letterhead to prove it... if you'd like to make a very substantial wager. We could let Dave Weber judge its' authenticity. It took me quite a bit of time to find a suitable replacement lubricant, and it was rather expensive stuff. I still have no desire to share that information with anyone who stabs us in the back by supporting anti-gunners. Of course, most dental drills now run at much higher rpm than the 17,000 max rpm of an MMC tool, and they use a synthetic oil instead of a grease. If you are stupid enough to run those tiny precision gears and bearings under load at up to 17,000 input rpm from a Foredom CC without any lubrication, go right ahead. You're obviously dumber than I thought.

By the way, accusing me of stooping to your level was a very lame and low class way to back away from your latest lie about the Republican Party not doing anything to help the little guy since Lincoln. You are more pathetic than ever.

Voting for anti-gun Democrats is dumber than giving treats to a dog that shits on a Persian Rug
