Hi Joe/David,
Thanks for your input.
David,
I do hope that you are recovering well from your 10 round heavyweight boxing fight (that what your pics seemed to show!).
You are indeed correct about the grease with Myford lathes. I had seen a couple of articles relating to using these grease guns being used with lubricating oil. Assuming that a good seal can be achieved, they can create a good pressure to squirt oil completely around the the bearing surfaces.
I saw these for sale and I thought that they my well do a good job with oil nipples that I have although I do have oil dashpots too (I suppose that says it all really!!).
I also picked up a decent old Stanley plane (made in the US); 2 moulding planes; a very old wood/brass adjustable bevel and a good spokeshave for under £30 which I thought was a bargain. The chap also had a lot of old woodworking gouges to which I was sorely tempted to buy but restrained myself (very difficult!!).
Regards
Rob
