I have a Bridgeport M head milling machine noticed that the lead screws for the X and Y axis has grease on them and assumed That somebody not knowing what they were doing pump to Grease through the fittings and lubricated it that way .. then I talk to an old-school machinist who told me that back then those first machines didn’t use oil that the oil fitting You see was actually a grease fitting and that’s how things were done back then,,, i’m not quite sure whether I believe that or not ... I can’t understand why they would use a fitting that looks exactly like what you hook your grease gun up to Wytchwood miss lead anyone who doesn’t really know what’s going on as far as lubricating there machine ..
Can anyone tell me whether or not this is true for a 1938M head ... I can just imagine what a pain in the ass it’s going to be too have to take that all apart and clean out all that grease that’s impacted into those groups they cut for oil to go through if that’s not the case ... any help with this matter is greatly appreciated thank you...
