Yep, the electric motor just turns a cam that gradually lifts the
plunger up to it's full height and then drops it to be pushed down by a
spring. Just position the cam at the fully down position and it won't be
any different from an all manual unit. Better yet, hook the lube pump
motor up to the same circuit as the spindle motor (or just one leg if
the spindle motor is 220Vac), and the motor will run when the spindle is
turned on. That's the way lube pumps are hooked up in a CNC Bridgeport.
