No oilers

[glen searleParticipant @glensearle82757]

Hi I have a warco gh universal mill new but it does not have any oiling points for the ways seems mad that I have to dismantle a new machine to fit oil points ? Anyone had this it seems that all of the other smaller Chinese mills have oilers.

Cheers glen

You don't need dismantle it and fit oilers.

I don't think my Myford mill has them – or if it does it's those infuriatingly tiny sprung-ball things apparently intended for lubricating the surrounding paint-work. Nor does my small Denbigh horizontal mill. Without going and looking, I am not sure if my Harrison lathe's saddle has oiling-points for the ways. (I use grease on the milling-machine screws though.)

Wind the table to each end of its travels, oil the exposed surfaces and feed-screws liberally (you might find a small brush the easiest way); and the oil will soon reach the still-hidden areas.
