I've noticed that your Deckel fp1 spindles are very similar looking arangement (not the drive but the spindle bearing enclosure) as my Fritz.
On My Fritz universal head are two grease nipples/zerks, one for the top spindle bearing one for the bottom.
PLUS a chamber with a bolted lid in the middle to grease the pinions.
Now everywhere else on the machine are domed headed oiler nipples/zerks.
but the head bearings are definatly grease nipples/zerks. (Flats on the heads of the zerks and it is impossible to make the oil gun overcom the pressure of the ball valve)
Is it safe to assume that these are ment to be this way.......or have they been swapped and do they really need to be oiler nipples/zerks ?
1.What are they on your Deckel heads... oil or grease ?
2.I dont want ..because of expence, to go down the kluber grease road.......I thought perhaps normal high speed spindle grease .because this is not a deckel..(read multi thousand dollar machine)....and I think I can, well get-away with it.
Max spindle speed 2000 rpm.
What is an equivelent cheap grease to use ?
Is there any particular grade to look out for ?
