Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Re: Series 1 Bridegport CNC manuals?

Hi John,

Ihave been running my mill and all the ways appear to be getting a good supply of oil :-)
I am a bit concerned about the quill bearings though. There does not appear to be any oil/grease being thrown out of the bearings so they could be short of lubricant. Should I expect to see a small amount of lubricant being thrown out or am I just paranoid?

Thanks,
Les
