A Couple of more Milling Machine Upgrades

Recommended Posts

Added 6 Ball Oilers to the X Axis ways and acme screw - the original one in the center of the back on the table is covered by the glass scale, so I added 3 recessed into the table from the top, clear of the vise. Added 2 additional ones in the front like the original, horizontal with a vertical intersecting hole. The one in the botton of the T slot is to oil the leadscrew - all too easy now, start at one end, turn on the power feed to medium speed, spritz the oiler, count to 5, repeat again for the travel.

Yup, I wish I could easily do the same to the Y saddle and the Z spindle mount - would require dis-assembly to clean out the chips.

Thnks. Bill
