Questions about adcok & shippley 1ES vertical head

Jul 05, 2014 2 Replies

Hello,



I have an old 1ES Adcock and Shipley milling machine with a vertical head.



I have the documentation of the mill but nothing about the head.



I have few questions about it : First of all, what is the correct lubrificant for the head ? Oil or Grease. It seems to be grease but i am not sure.



Second, theire is a blind hole on the face of the head, just under the hole of the (oil or grease) nipple. What is it for ???

Hello Andrew,

Thank's for your advice but as i have mentionned above, i already have the manual of the mill. The veritcal head is an option and no details are given in the manual.
