Re: Bridgeport Series 1 - Z axis oiling problem - need help

Jeff, I have a maintanence manual, but unfortuanately, no parts
diagram. In the maintanence manual, under the procedure for removing
the Z drive belt, it says to "disconnect the oil line to the left
side of the meter unit (1-41-3210)". If you can locate the meter unit
in a parts diagram, maybe that will help.
