Hello all,

Picked up my first mill about a week ago, and am in the process of getting it setup in my shop. I’ve got the machine cleaned up, and all lube points addressed except for the ones that call for grease. I cannot for the life of me figure out what I am supposed to grease. I’ve read what I could find, but it seems Bridgeports have a hole you thread the tube in and squeeze…not sure if I should have that, but if I do, I cannot find it. Attached is the lube data plate and pictures of each side of the head - anybody able to tell me where the grease goes?

Disregard, after going over it with a bright light, I found a painted over screw head on the left side of the machine...seems DPO never greased the head. Then again, I got the impression it has pretty much sat since he bought it new 10 years ago...the surfaces and paint condition seem to bear that out.

Attached is a picture showing the location if any one else has troubles and stumbles upon this, it’s marked with yellow tape.
