We bought this machine a year or two ago but are just now starting to use it. The turret has three lub points with grease zerks, all three of which we have greased.
After looking at the maintenance schedule in the manual I discovered that one of those zerks is supposed to be filled with oil, not grease. Upon removal of the grease zerk it appears that the previous owners had also greased this zerk instead of using oil.
I hate to try to flush the grease out unnecessarily. Does anyone have one of these machines? If so, do you use grease or oil? My first instinct is to keep using grease since it seems to have been working for decades with grease.
