Hello there,
I had to bypass the oil/coolant drain in order to finish the project. I'm using cutting oil and the drain through the table is clogged. If anyone knows of a way to clear the oil passage, I would be very appreciative.
This is a 1930's (?) Cincinnati #2L Horizontal Milling Machine.
I have been able to clear the trough towards the back of the table, and the lower trough that the table drain into, and the path from the casting above the cross feed screw to the bottom reservoir is clear. Just the drain from the lower part of the table to the cross feed screw is still clogged and difficult to access.
The garden hoses work, but they have drawbacks.
Thank you,
Fergus
