I just picked up an old floor model Rockwell lathe (46-525) It seems to run just fine, but it had been sitting in a shed for several years. I wondered if lubrication might help extend it's life and make it run better. So I checked both a Rockwell manual and a Delta manual. No word about lubrication. No do it every 20 hours and it doesn't say not to do it, and it certainly has no instructions for lubrication.
A few drops of sewing machine oil? and then where to put that oil. I have seen several threads and posts about taking the tail stock partially apart and lubricating the quill, etc. Not sure what to do,
