Hi Guys,
Long time lurker (can't find an intro thread btw), I signed up when I impulse bought a slightly clunky SB heavy 10" which has sat in my workshop for a couple of years until I got the 3 phase sorted. So now the questions begin!
I've bought the correct oils and was glad to see the cups on the spindle still had remnants of previous top ups, but there's no visible spindle drain plug?
The apron was unfortunately dry so I've flushed with kerosene and filled with correct grade, all other oil feeders have been primed. It runs surprisingly quiet and smooth (I'll upload a YouTube video soon), will I be ok to run as is for a while so I can knock out a few small projects that have accumulated or should I do a more thorough inspection of the spindle etc?
Pictures and videos to follow!
Thanks,
Ben
