Good morning everyone! It's my first post here! I just put into my garage a nice TOS FNK-25 knee mill, and while when I got it, it was a disgusting grease covered mess, I have lovingly degreased it and coated the surfaces in boesheild T9.
But! I have some questions for you experts out there! Mine came equipped with the NMTB30 taper, so I am changing a bit of my tooling for that, but I noticed about 60 grease zerks, which I have been told should not be grease, but oil zerks. Is That true? Do I use ISO 68 or something similar? Grease anywhere?
Also, the head tilt is no problem, very easy to use, however the nod adjustment seems to be tightly frozen, I'm still poking around to see what is holding it up.
Biggest question of all, Does anyone have a copy of the manual? I have zero info on it, and after googling for hours, its just a bunch of dubious sites that want my credit card number before showing me a manual. Not gonna happen!
Many thanks to everyone!
