So I have a 2H with the high speed universal head. I recently learned that those zerk fittings are for oil... Anyway the manuals I found online say to use a high quality oil but what kind would be good for the head? Would bridgeport spindle oil work? I put transmission oil in for the time being (had a job that needed to be done fast) and ive noticed that the brass retaining ring where the spindle exits the head (working end of the spindle) will drip thin grease (the remaining grease I couldnt remove from the head that was thinned by the oil) but only on startup and stop of the spindle. is it supposed to do this? I assume once I get oil in it will only leak out more right? even with the transmission fluid that I had in it I noticed it would heat up alot as well. After about 30 minutes running the spindle area would be around 110 deg F. Is that normal?
Sorry for all the questions. I spent 6 months tearing the machine apart and rebuilding it between work and school and I really dont want to break something because every replacement part ive seen online is insanely expensive. Thanks in advance!
