    Yes, WD40 will keep your mill rolls from rusting. However, it is
    VERY important to remember that WD40 is not technically a lubricant.
    The "WD" in the product name is short for "water displacement". Yes,
    it will keep water and thus rust from mill parts. However, it does
    not function well as a lubricant. For lubricating, and long-term
    rust proofing, it may be better to use either petroleum or silicone
    based "oils". Continuous use of WD40 can have the deleterious effect
    of "washing" out the lubricant on your mill.
