Typically two or one drops of oil every couple months. More often, if
you use the motor a lot.

Stormy, I have a very old Craftsman 1/2-horse motor on my Cincy#2 mill.
The motor weighs about 120lb. It's badged with "two drops of 10W oil per
bearing, twice a year. Do not over-lubricate."

Even that might be too much. I remember a GE ball bearing motor that
GE recommended greasing every ten years if used 8 hours a day.
