Good Day ! I have a Toolmaster 1D: wonderful machine well suited to my level of (in)expertese.
I have all the manuals and have read everything I could find online, but I couldn't find anything about how to lubricate the quill and the spindle bearings.
The manuals have these wonderful diagrams with arrows pointing to all areas needing lubrication, but no mention is made of lubrication for the quill and the spindle bearings.
There is an approximately .5 inch diameter hole above the downfeed gearbox that appears to lead to the quill, and I've been giving that a shot of spindle oil before each use.
However, I have no idea what this is really lubricating (if anything), and I'm concerned that I might be doing damage by not providing adequate lubrication.
If you are knowledgeable in this area, I would appreciate hearing your advice.
Thank you.
