I’m getting ready to add ISO32 oil and the go through the break-in procedure for my G4003g lathe. I don’t see anything about removing the top of the headstock housing to examine the inside of the headstock for metal particles and flush them out with mineral spirits after the break-in sequence. Am also considering putting a couple of magnets in to collect metal particles.
Is removing the top of the headstock housing to do this a good idea? Does it have a gasket? Any suggestions?
Also, I’ve been looking for oilers with rubber or plastic nozzles as recommended by Grizzly for the ball-oiler ports. I like the Goldenrod oilers, but they have the small metal tips that Grizzly seems to be warning about. What do you folks do?
Thanks,
Douglas
