Just Received A Sheldon Lathe {EM-46-P] Know Very Little About A Lathe. Took Machine Shop In H. School, A Trade School Here In St. Louis Back In The Early 60s. Lathe Looks OK, Doesn't Mean It Is. Cleaned It Up. Getting Ready To Level It. There Are At Least A Dozen Oil Cups And Caps,{I Guess That is What You Call Those Oil Holes With A Little Spring Loaded Bearing} What Type & Weight Oil Do I Use. Is There Supposed To Felt In Them?? There Isn't. What Are The Wipers On The Ways Made Of? Almost looks Like Leather But That Don't Seem Right To Me. I have A Million Question And Will Need Some Tooling. Not Even Shure Where To Start. It Came With A Phase Converter And Seems To Run OK. I Checked The Voltage Of The Three Phase It Is Well Within The 12% Div. Range, I Believe That Is What The Instructions Says. The Amperage Is Different By Far, But The Instruction Sheet Did Not Mention That At All. What Should The Amp Range Be??. Ran It For About 2.5 Hours Toying With Light Thread Cutting, While I Wait To Barrow A Proper Level. Nothing Heated Up. Like I Said I Am New At This And Any Help Will Be Appreciated. Thanks , Bill
