It makes sense to me.
There are applications where graphite is considered an abrasive.

There are applications where graphite is considered an abrasive. And others where it is used as a "lubricant" to make things slip better. Like on hinges.

I would not buy something that runs on any kind of primer given the possibility of primer shortages and even regulations. In fact, why not buy a flintlock? Really. Rocks aren't going away anytime soon.

Really? How old are these units?
Thrust bearings or guide bearings or both are wood?
What kind of wood?

Oh well schidt, if it's a "carbon researcher" it must be true.
Fugging nitwit.
Just WTF is a "carbon researcher" anyway.
