Hah, you made me grin 3D, yeah going with the mobilgear is quite an over kill I admit. Don't get me wrong, I love my cheap Chinese machines and the 1127 in particular, but that gear box is not quite "high tolerances". Kinda made me giggle when I opened it. I don't know what I was expecting but it caught me off guard. But like I say, I'm highly impressed with the "balls" of that machine. For three grand delivered to my door I'm very happy. It's just the ever vigilant engineer in me that made me buy the mobilgear. But by the numbers I figured that gallon should last me 7-10 years of oil changes. Depending on how much I use to flush and of course greatly on how much I spill. And really who am I kidding, I'm sure I will upgrade to a bigger lathe before long and someone will be getting a fine adjusted 1127 for cheap, hah.
