If you are using your Durston every day just cover it with an old blanket when not in use and also make sure that the rollers are left apart, I would only use oil or grease if the mills are to be stored for a while, oiled mill rollers really need cleaning off every time the mill gets used, otherwise you will get uneven rolled sheet with textures of any oil that had been left on the rollers. Any machinery benefits from being covered by an old blanket a method taught to me by an engine turner, who covered his treasured engine turning machines with blankets at the end of each working day.
