LMAO! I oil a lot of things like that, it is very advanced for someone like me! I looked at the link mentioned earlier, and like the way he did it, he didnt drill the table, only the saddle. Then drilled cross holes to get to where he wanted it. I am probably going to drill the table also, just to be sure while Im doing it. I agree with you on the ball oilers, I dont like them. On my little mill it looks like the hole for the oiler was gnawed through the table by a rabid cast iron eating beaver. .....they didnt bother to deburr the hole on the other side of course...... I figure if the zerks get in my way I can put set screws in them if need be lol.....
