TECALEMIT NO CG3020 Alternative to Zerk type oiler for bridgeport milling machine
To oil the ways of the mill, oil must be applied daily. in order to do this (conveniently) most mills are fit with a hand pump that pushes oil through the machine through a series of pipes. my vintage machine does not have that…so a handhelf oiler must be used. Normally these come from zerk but I found an alternative in this vintage British made grease pump. Works a charm!
