I recently noticed the tailstock on my Grizzly G9249 lathe does not have wipers for the ways. I intend to order a set for the carriage then install them on the tailstock. It will mean drilling and tapping 8 holes in the tailstock base but I do believe it should be done.
A lot of my work is on material that is over 2 diameters beyond the chuck jaws so the tailstock is heavily utilized. I will lubricate them from the top of each wiper.
Perhaps other owners have this situation as well. I would be interested to know if they added wipers and how they did it.
