Oil? What oil? You mean as in cutting fluid, or way lube?

Way lube, the nuts and the screws. None of these are hardened, no oil
means wear out fast.

Micro Mark has a scew conversion, gets rid of the 16 pitch screws so
you don't have to keep working with that .0625 per revolution. Just
makes it a little easier.

It can be an excellent small machine, but a lot depends on the initial
setup, meaning make sure it's right before you scrap a bunch of stuff.

Get a screwless vise, don't use a drilpress vise.
