Anyone have a Bridgeport missing an X axis at the moment that they can check? I do see how the dripping over the edge would put oil onto the moving side of the gib and on the other side, the dovetail edge. But most of the oil tends to go there rather than the rest of the way to the blind end of the groove. The oiler videos often show there is a feed pipe at both ends. Mine only has the feed fixture at the one end. For some reason, there is a gib adjustment screw at both ends. The LHS has the oiler ball bearing plug which will be replaced with the single shot oiler pipe.
While the RHS has nothing but this is where the actual gib screw sits. Very odd. I could put a feed pipe connection here too I've only had the Single Shot Oiler and tubing etc. for about 10 years. Project #42. John
