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.
