Re: Need lubrication help on Bridgeport 2J head

Jim:

You are probably right, but may as well send it anyway. I took a
plug out of mine and replaced it with an oil cup. The other one
apparently takes some sort of grease. I think there may be another
hidden somewhere on the head (or not). This thing seems to take six
different lubricants to all sorts of hard to get at places on
different schedules. Not real user friendly. I was thinking of
getting a one shot libricator, but can't figure out how to deal with
all the different lubricants. Anyone have any ideas or experience?

My BP also has an aftermarket table (Position Wizard) installed which
rides back and forth on rods and has weird lubrication fittings where
set screws seem to act like pin valves. Still trying to figure out
how to interface with them and hoping I'm addressing the lubrication
right.

Regards,
Jeff
