Hey guys, couple questions about the oil system.
My machine is up and running now, and the oil pressure gauge is reading at a shaky 45-50psi. Also, the oil sight glass takes a while to show any movement, and when it does it shows a steady drip at best.
I know that the sight glass isn't supposed to indicate pressure, just that there's oil moving through the headstock. Just curious what a correct indication is supposed to look like.
Bonus question - all the literature I have refers to an oil filter on the back of the headstock, but mine clearly doesn't have one. Did some come without a filter, or was mine removed at some point?
