Quill Gear Shaft Ball Oiler
Oil Type ................SB1365 or ISO 68 Equivalent
Oil Amount ......................................1 or 2 Squirts
Lubrication Frequency ....................... As Needed
The coarse downfeed shaft has a ball oiler that is
used for lubricating the shaft (see Figure 61).
Proper lubrication of the ball oiler is done with a
pump-type oil can that has a plastic or rubber-
ized cone tip. We do not recommend using metal
needle or lance tips, as they can push the ball too
far into the oiler, break the spring seat, and lodge
the ball in the oil galley.
Lubricate the ball oiler before and after machine
use, and more frequently under heavy use. When
lubricating the ball oiler, first clean the outside
surface to remove any dust or grime. Push the
rubber or plastic tip of the oil can nozzle against
the ball oiler to create a hydraulic seal, then pump
the oil can once or twice. If you see sludge and
contaminants coming out of the lubrication area,
keep pumping the oil can until the oil runs clear.
When finished, wipe away any excess oil.
