Properly oiling Hafco Bridgeport clone (BM-22AD)?
So I went to oil the new to me mill today and couldnt find clear points on the head. The manual states '"lubrication is obtained by use of the drip feed method through two oil cups located at right side o belt housing with light machine oil such as Socony D.T.E. light or equivalent". There are no images of this and no clear oiling points on the head.
There seems to be a grease point near the bell housing as shown in the image below just above right of the 'quill feed' label.
Do I put oil or grease in that? Yeah I know it needs a clean up, so does the whole head in fact, a few mud wasp nests in there, the mill has just come out of a long period of inactivity I think.
There also seems to be only one oil point for the quill, which seemed a bit odd to a more seasoned machinist who came over recently. Usually he reckons it's higher up and the oil drips down through everything.
