Hi,
I´m trying to figure out how to arrange lubrication to all the surfaces, the crosslide is giving me some extra headache.
There are oil holes from top and oil grooves in the moving part. But I´m not keen on routing tubes on top of it, want it free for tooling etc.
Would it be ok to go up through the sadle and pump the oil up into the grooves? The grooves are of course zig-zag type and rather deep so would need to have an "oiling position" for the moving part.
Will grit accumulate in the oil pipe? Or am I overthinking complicating? Am I missing something else?
Cheers
