Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Bridgeport way wear,lubrication fix

Speaking of which. The tubing used with those manifolds is 1/8" OD but has
a teeny, tinny ID. Anybody know where I can get some of this? I will be
setting up a oilier for my RF-45 conversion real soon. I have the manifold
but no tubing. All I can seem to find has a pretty big ID compared to the
OEM Bridgeport stuff.

Thanks,

Thomas
