There's been many an article written on changing out the spindle bearings on the m-l.
The original bearings are sealed for life types, the replacement taper rollers are greased prior to boxing up the machine..However over time I guess the grease would eventually be lost...?
The head bearings on my 9*20 lathe are oiled via little brass oil ports...Obviously the m-l doesnt have these ports.
So what would be the preferred method of ensuring the bearings are periodically lubricated?
Your thoughts appreciated.
