Good morning,

I do not have a manual for my Omnimill 00, can someone please tell me what the recommended lube for the vertical head shaft bearings is?

Thank you for your time

Wade

Hi Wade,

You should be able to buy a manual from lathes.co.uk or machinemanuals. There is also an Elliot group here, I assume you are already a member.

Hi Wade,

Dont go wasting your money on a manual. I've got 3 pdf files which I can email you. They duplicate a lot of info and dont tell you everything you want ( the table feed for example is shaft driven in the manuals, its a separate 75W motor on mine) but you might find them useful.

I put ISO220 in the horizontal gearbox, can't remember what I've pumped into the vert spindle, just NOT grease!

I'll PM you tomorrow with my email addy.

Rob
