RE: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Oiler metering units...

Lee,

I tried everything I could think of with the plugged meters on my
grinder. Put them in an ultasonic for about 4 hours. The surfaces got
nice and clean, but the internals of the meter were still clogged solid.
I also tried picking at it and soaking in acetone. I think replacement
is the only way to go.

I don't think I would just replace them all unless you are sure they are
all plugged. With the filter in the oiler it seems remote that they are
all bad. On my grinder they do not have a filter in the oiler and they
got lots of grit in the tank.
