Default Cheap Chinese Mill-drill

I have one of these. I don't recall any oil ports other than on the X &
Y leadscrew bearings.
And I've had it very apart.

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



It's the slippery stuff you'll put in your next machine

Ok, humor aside. Dig up the manual and/or find others with the same
basic machine to get advice, and look for oil ports (little balls). Get
a pointy-tipped oil can and shoot some oil in them on a regular basis.
Way oil is good for the ways; ask around about the spindle.
