One-Shot Oiler

The one-shot oiler shown in Figure 103 lubricates the saddle ways with oil from the apron reservoir.

To use the one-shot oiler, pull the pump knob out for two or three seconds and then push it in. The pump draws oil from the apron reservoir and then forces it through drilled passages to the way guides.

Repeat this process while moving the carriage and cross slide through their full range of movement to distribute oil along the ways.

Lubricate the guides before and after operating the lathe. If the lathe is in a moist or dirty environment, increase the lubrication interval.

Check the apron oil level through the sight glass before using the one-shot oiler to ensure the proper oil level.
