I'd like to rig a lube system on the G0704, but keep losing my round tuit. Mainly I'd have to go find a bridgeport to mount its tables and machine the holes and zigzags that would involve. Its a right pita to do it all by hand, and plays hob with a whole bag of cotton balls trying to get it clean. Some day I hope to get all those tapered gibs and cast iron worn in so it actually rides on the oil film w/o blackening it in the first homing operation. > I had a manifold and lube setup for the ball nuts in the mini-HF, but I used weed eater fuel hose, but that stuff is scary $$. But even vactra didn't phase it in several years so I guess I'd have to say it was good stuff. Several years later its still dead, just lays there limp. > I have gotten some vinyl tubing for my pick and place > machine on eBay, but they are in metric sizes.

Its nice when somebody else's search foo works better than mine. ;-) > > Jon > > > _______________________________________________ > Emc-users mailing list > [email protected] > https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
