[HELP] How much oil?

[Dr Stan]

That is IMHO the best lathe ever. We had them on the USS Samuel Gompers AD-37 and at 10 years old bolted to a steel deck that moved every which way we could still hold +/- .0002" on the bearing journals of pump shafts with a max TIR of .001". Except for when the ship fitters on the deck above used their shear capable of cutting 1" 1018 8 ft long. One could see the whole lathe bounce up & down.
