So I watched this again to make sure I had a few things straight and i am left with a question.
If you skip to 16:05 in the video they discuss the daily oiling of the lathe and the machinist uses 1 type of oil for the entire machine! This video is from the time of my lathe but I do have a hard to read oil plate on my belt cover too. I am sure this has been discussed but one kind of oil would make life a lot easier. Anyone know the story? What do you long time vintage machine using machinists do?
