Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Bridgeport way wear,lubrication fix

Hi Thomas;

I'd get online and see if MSC has Bijur or equivalent tubing. Baring
that try contacting Bijur directly. Around here the local machine tool
builder handles Bijur components, but I'm sure Bijur can direct you to a
supplier or service you directly.

The clones have been mentioned also and are worth a look. The problem
is Bijur is expensive, atleast from our local dealer. They want as
much for a hand pump as a whole 9x20 lathe. I don't want to discount
the quality, Bijur is very good stuff, but you don't want it to become a
huge percentage of your machines value either.
