Hi all
I have an old oliver 159 wood lathe that has been sitting a few years.
When I get it put back together,I want to grease the spindle.
How much grease should I pump in it.(how many pumps of the grease
gun?)
I was planing on using a hand heald pump type grease gun.
I supose a general chassis, wheel bearing grease like you get at an
auto parts store would be OK.
How often should this be done?
Thanks, Tony

One supposes that if they are greased rather than oiled, the standard
squeeze for effect would be the method. When it shows stop, wipe, rotate,
wipe. I'd get the low throw kind rather than the chassis grease, and do it
every 25-50 hours.
