For those who are suggesting that a new gib should be made, well, it's not quite that simple. The dovetail of the way and the slide, also has wear. To make a new gib, and fit it to a worn dovetail, would not give better results than what Adam is doing by shimming. If he were scraping the entire cross slide assembly, then fitting a brand new gib would be proper.

@@SteveColluns-hm2xx No, not 30% correct. Building up a gib is a very common repair, that is what Adam set out to do, and he did it correctly. I was responding to those that were suggesting that he should just make up a new gib. Well, its not so simple. It is more complicated because it would require that the new gib be machined then finish scraped to match and fit the slide geometry. This is where the real problem comes in, how do you fit the new gib to a dovetail that is known to be worn? You can't just scrape the adjustable side of the way, without affecting the guiding edge. So in a nutshell, what Adam did was a repair, and fitting the entire slide assembly is a major undertaking, as Adam touched on. The goal was to take up the excessive slop in the slide, and that is what he accomplished.

Hey Adam. I have the zerks on my Bridgeport so I use a modified grease gun to oil it: take out the spring/plunger and cut off the bottom of the cartridge tube to a suitable height (taller holds more oil). Weld a plate on the bottom to seal it. Use it by turning upside down to pump the oil into your zerks at grease gun pressure! Done. You store it right-side up and the oil never leaks out; never had a drop leak out. Hope this helps. I bought the same plunger you tried using: it only works well when vertical.

Adam with the grease gun type oil fitting you made, the check valve is designed to work under much higher pressures. Some grease guns run up to 10,000 psi if you can get the tip apart you could put a much lighter pressure non return spring in there and your oil can should be able to overcome the check valve spring and oil the cross slide ok. It's a good idea you have come up with, just needs a little tweak!

I've got a couple of those Push n Lube oilers for my lathe. I think the problem with them is that they are extremely difficult to get the air bled out of them. I fiddled around with them for quite awhile before they suddenly just started working. I took a wood dowel and applied quite a bit of pressure to the backside of that plastic piston while stroking it on a fitting. I have one for flush fittings and one for the regular looking grease fittings and they both now put out a decent amount of oil per stroke. I also have a project on my backlog to modify a small grease gun to use oil instead of grease. It surprises me, with sheer number of these types of fittings and old and new lathes, that there isn't a great solution out there that I could find.

Hi Adam, when cutting thin stuff like that shim stock, it is better to use multiple light passes rather than the one heavy pass. Let the knife do the work. If cutting too heavy, the knife can get deflected by the wood grain underneath and lead to a less accurate cut. Light cut also keeps blade sharper for longer too. All the best from Oz.

Adam, my personal view from working on Vintage Bentleys, is that it is best to use button fittings for oil points and Zerks for grease. I then use a Tecalemit button oil gun for the oil points and a Tecalemit grease gun on the Zerks. That way you don't end up greasing locations that should be oiled. These oiling guns may be difficult to find now but I would suggest contacting the Bentley Drivers Club of America as all Vintage Bentley's use these button oilers. They may well sell new ones.

I did a similar repair to the table gib on my K&T horizontal mill. Instead of using feeler gauges, I calculated the shim thickness by multiplying the taper ratio to the distance I needed the gib to move. Since most tapers are 1/4" per foot, if I need to move the gib 1", then adding .020" to the thickness of the gib gives me that movement. I think my math is correct. Realistically, the center of the shim could have been completely removed.

Iv never really found a system of oiling I’m happy with. Iv found all the oil guns iv been able to source leak everywhere inc the fit better the nipple ( zerk ) and the gun. Another commenter said s as about stripping out a grease gun and welding up the end that sounds a pretty good idea although it still leaves the issue of leaking at the nipple ( zerk ) itself. Iv changed the lathe at work to a concave type oil nipple like a little kitten plate almost with a lightly sprung ball in the middle you just oil with a regular oiler. I was attracted to these as no 1 can come along and pump grease into them and you don’t need a “special” oil gun down side is they aren’t very good on anything other than a horizontal surface for obvious reasons. I’d be very interested if you shot a video on oiling and the various oil guns and hard ware that’s available for this job 👍🏻

I have an old 70's Myford ML7 lathe and have the same issue using those push oil guns, even the expensive Myford brand oil gun was frustrating to use and got oil everywhere but in the fitting. So I bought a slipper pete mini grease gun off of amazon removed the plunger rod and sealed the bottom of the gun with a machined flat "coin" of aluminum with a cut to size piece of rubber on top of it, so that when you screw the bottom cap on it squeezes and seals it. I fill it with oil by unscrewing the top only. All threaded areas have teflon plumbers tape on them including the top and bottom of the grease housing. When I use it , I hold it upside down (this is key) , and when I store it , I just hang it right side up. I use it with the flex hose that's included and the coupler locks on to the zerk nipples nicely. I get little to no leaks and its very convenient to use.

Alemite 4035 Heavy Duty Oil Gun is what you can buy directly. Looks and works like a regular grease gun but has a piston designed for oil. Down side is they ain't cheap. It will set you back $200-$350 depending on where you buy it. Amazon has the highest price and longest lead time. I was faced with the exact same dilemma with an old Wells-Index vertical mill at a place I used to work. I tried a several of those little hand pump oilers and they just were not up to the task. All the ways on all the axes had zerk fittings. Some prior users had been pumping wheel bearing grease into those fittings for years! It wasn't possible for me to take the machine down and pull all the axes apart to clean out all the grease. I needed a way to pump clean way oil into the fittings and flush out as much as I could. None of the grease guns on the market, with the exception of the Alemite 4035, that I tried are designed for holding oil. ALL of them leak past the reservoir piston seal. Some more than others. Fortunately virtually all the grease guns on the market have a standard sized cylinder which is close enough to white plastic drain pipe. I just needed one with a good sealing setup in the head (O-ring or good gasket.) Next thing to figure out is the type of threads it uses and whether my lathe could thread at that pitch. Threaded one end for the pump head and the other end I glued on a cap with a large pipe taper plug for filling. It works. Have to hold the pump inverted because there is no piston to keep the contents forced into the head. That old Wells-Index works buttery smooth now. I am more than happy to help you get it sorted out so if you need more info let me know in the comments here. I am also a member on practicalmachinist. Great video Adam.

Fill with oil and keep it hanging nozzle upwards so it doesn’t leak out past the pump mechanism, in use providing the nozzle is basically pointing below the horizontal it pumps oil a treat. I’ve bought oil guns and they all piss oil all over the floor past the piston hence my modification of the old grease gun!

Hey Adam, for your oil pumping solution I’d recommend you look into a compressor oil transfer pump from a HVAC supply company. I have one if you want to get the part number but they are a simple hand pump that is pretty powerful. That’s been my favorite method to date. Also works great for headstock oil changes and anything else that requires transfer of thicker viscosity oils in quantities from a few ounces to a gallon. They run 70 or so bucks on sale or 100 for the top shelf versions. Uses a standard 1/4” flare nipple and can easily be converted to many different sizes from there. I believe the threaded nipple is actually 1/8” NPT if memory serves me correct. Good stuff. 👍🏻

I modified a harbor freight mini grease gun with a flexible hose . you take the plunger out and seal the hole in the back with some silicone. fill the chamber with way oil. You should have no leaks. Put your grease fitting on the zerk and pump the handle and it will pump the way oil thought the zerk. Important: you have to hold the oil filled chamber upside down so gravity will feed the oil through the gun, otherwise you will just be pumping air. After you are finished lubricating, store the gun right side up so the oil doesnt leak out of the crappy threads that hold the chamber to the head.

I'm not sure the name of the piece but it screws onto the end of the grease gun in place of the standard coupling with 1/8" NPT. It has about a 1/4" diameter tube about 1 1/2" long with a short truncated taper with a hole in the middle. It is meant to push into a zerk far enough to depress the ball and the taper seals the hole somewhat. Most auto parts stores carry them as they were used to grease the drive shaft universal in older vehicles where the standard couple won't fit. It might not seal well enough for you, but doesn't cost much to try. Really enjoy your channel!

Adam, the Myford lathe's of old used oil zerks exclusively. They had a custom made oil gun, which are now un- obtainable, the originals that is. Myford UK sell a Swiss made oiler which they recommend as the replacement. I believe a company named RDG Engineering also sell them. Only problem is they cost far more than I'm prepared to pay like over $100 plus about the same in shipping. I have a Myford ML 7 and for it I use an oil gun from Princess Auto, our equivalent of Harbour Freight. It's not great but at least it gets some oil where you want it but also makes a mess doing it. As to your modified grease attachment you need to open the fitting and reduce the spring pressure. It's designed to hold back thousands of pounds of grease pressure in what ever bulldozer you're trying to grease. Your oil can might produce 5psi at max so it'll never overcome that spring's tension. I'd even go so far as to suggest removing the spring altogether and see what that does. Might make it a little messy but it also might get oil where you want it .
