Hey all,

We need one of these:

http://www.lathespares.co.uk/oil-lubrication-c-31/new-oil-gun-myford-...

... to lubricate the various bearings on the ML7. I'm surprised it didn't come with one tbh.

I'm trying to find out if there is an alternative, but as far as I can tell there isn't.

I've already forked out £50ish of my own (not BMMF) money, buying the cover and lubricating and cutting oils, and I can't afford to shell out for this too unfortunately.

Is everyone ok with me buying this with hackspace funds?

Cheers,

Mike

How about these & a grease gun?
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/CONNICAL-CONCAVE-OIL-GREASE-NIPPLE-NOZZLES-...

"These screw onto your Grease gun tube and allow lubricant to be dispensed
to nipples easily" - nothing funny about that at all.

Hi Mike, can we hold off on this until I review the current hackspace
funds? There's been a couple of large spending requests recently
(heating/insulation, components) plus the Henry purchase.

From what I can tell it needs to be high pressure, to get past the seal in the nipple.

It's something we can wait a [short] while to get, but ideally not too long.

The main thing to keep lubed are the main spindle bearings, which has a separate oiling mech -- which I need to confirm is working correctly.

If anyone feels flush and fancies buying Mr Lathe a xmas present, go ahead :)

Mike,

I have a grease gun that we could try if you wanted. It should certainly
fit the rightmost of the grease nipples shown on the link.
It's even loaded with grease, though whether it's the right sort of
grease......

Hello!

I'm keen to get an induction/tutorial on the lathe, which I understand
helps towards the costs (how much was it?) I'm happy to do this asap if
that helps.

Joe

Hey Joe,

I have not yet worked out a proper lathe induction -- tbh we need to get some decent facing and turning tools sorted -- the brazed carbide tipped ones that  i bought are rubbish.

What we really need to do is get some HSS tools ground to size -- anyone on the list any good at doing this? Paul?!

I'm going to invest in a pair of decent indexable tipped cutters as well, to test those out too -- will be with me next week.

That said though -- you can always pay in advance to help out!  (£25)

The lathe was £620 itself, and then I've also bought a quick change tool post & holders, which took it to about £700.
