Since I get a second chance at this, what do you guys recommend for a proper breakin for a new gear head mill? It came with oil in the gearbox but I plan on changing that out. So far I have only confirmed it runs and spins in the correct direction.
Should I do the breakin first and then change the oil or change it before? My old mill had somewhat thicker oil than what I used in the lathe but I don't know if this one is the same or similar.
Any other sugguestions are welcome.
