I am curious what guys are doing to keep the spindle splines oiled after installing a power draw bar. The splines are oiled by dropping the quill 2” and adding a couple drops of heavy oil to the drawbar per the machine instructions.

Seems like a slight annoyance to remove the draw bar unit to keep up with the weekly regiment outlined by Bridgeport.
 
Agreed. I thought about the air tool lubrication as well. I would venture to guess that even if some made it down to the spindle splines, it wouldn't be there for very long (light air tool oil).
