Hi all,
I decided I should give the lathe a bit of a clean up this morning and then get busy with the grease gun. Whilst doing so, I spotted a couple of holes that should have grease nipples in them but don't. I took one out from alongside and it seems to have a 1/4 BSW thread. Anyone know where I can get nipples of this size?
I also spotted a hole on the cross slide, close to where one of the nipples is missing but which I'm fairly sure isn't for a nipple. Any ideas what should be in the hole (circled) in the picture below?
