Hey guys.
I have a new to me Nakamura tome TW-10 Cnc twin turret twin spindle lathe and it goes through about a liter of way oil per day.
Is this normal? It is making a serious mess of everything.The pump has a 3cc displacement volume on 200 V.Is there a way to turn the oil pump down a little? I have another Cnc lathe that uses lithium based grease I pump in every 3 months and that works great and keeps the machine clean. I am thinking of converting over to grease on all the linear rails and ball screws and putting in a smaller pump or turning down the one In the machine now for lubing the turrets and live tooling.
Any thoughts or comments on this conversion?
Any one else make a mod of this kind?
