I didn't get much time in the shop yesterday, as I was out and about for most of the day. However, I did manage to get the saddle and table back on. I also cleaned out the one shot lube pump and ensured that oil was getting to where it should.
I'm a little confused as to how the elevation nut and screw get lubricated, as the oil outlet at the top of the column discharges onto the gears. I must admit that I was surprised to see that these were plastic. The large white gear has two holes in it, which allows excess oil to run out over the top of the casting.
Starting to look like a surface grinder again!
I do like the soft stops
