I recently bought my first lathe, a Logan 922, that has a 1/2 HP motor on it. I was able to download the Instruction and Parts manuals from the Vintage Machinery site and they have been very helpful.
The manuals don't address lubrication of the electric motor. Its got a Peerless 1/2 HP motor that I'm running on 120v that has two oil cups.
Does anyone have any idea how often and how much I should lube the motor? I've been dribbling a few drops of 20w non-detergent every time I use it, but don't want to over or under do it. Thanks for the help.
Here's a picture of the lathe.
