Thread: Hello from Oxford - Problems with a SABEL lathe
31/01/2019 17:16:50

Hey all,

Long time reader, first time poster.
Also have a Sabel picked up recently (Also around Oxford too)
Regarding the headstock bearing lubrication, i find that if i squirt a bit of oil into the holes under the caps, generally the level always drops to the same level in a few seconds, and leaks out of the overflow and down the front below the spindle. Was wondering if others see this behaviour, or if I may be missing a felt wick or something. The oil I've been using is pretty thin stuff supposedly for plain spindle bearings on machine tools, so hopefully not far off correct.

Thanks

Don
