Chipmaster headstock oil

| 102 forum posts | Evening all, I've submitted this question on the colchester yahoo group but that place seems pretty dead to me so I thought I would try to improve my chances a little and post here as well! On the chipmaster headstock is the sight glass a level glass or should it show a flow of oil etc when the spindle is running? Planning to change the oil soon as I can, but cant actually find any instructions on how to fill it, i.e if the sight glass isn't a 'level' then how do I know how much to put in? Many thanks, Nick |

| 297 forum posts 56 photos | Hi Nick Almost all lathes mills etc the sight glass is the oil level read with the machine stopped and the level halfway up the glass. "" then how do I know how much to put in?"" With oil half up the sight glass (Top Up if necessary) then drain into a container an measure that amount. Hope this helps Eric Edited By oldvelo on 10/07/2017 22:29:19 |
