Hi,
I'm new to this forum. This is my first post.
I live in Australia and have just purchased a used Sermac Servian C30630B metal lathe manufactured by China National Machinery Import and Export Company. I bought it from a deceased estate so can't get any help from the previous owner.
I need to top up the oil in the headstock and in the feedbox. The manual recommends N0 7 or No 10 machine oil (50 degrees Celsius viscosity, 6-13 centistoke.) So why am I confused?
Can any one tell me what oil to use in the machine. My local engineering company said they use hydraulic oil in their lathes but I would like to be sure before I go ahead.
Can anyone help please.
cheers
