    TL2 x axis lubrication problem

    Hi,

    I have a problem with lubricating the x axis trucks on my TL2. I regularly grease all the points but i am not getting anything on the x cross slide and instead the grease seems to just build up underneath before dropping down in a big lump. I have tried to look underneath but this is very difficult. How can i get access to the grease lines to see what the problem is?

    by using the correct grease nipple ha ha. The manual shows the left hand side nipple being the trucks but this is incorrect so i have been over greasing the ball screw.
    I think its ok anyway. I still cant see any grease on the trucks but i assume this is due to the wipers?

    Thanks. It may take multiple lubrication cycles for the grease to show up.

    Ours doesn't show up right away either after greasing. The wipers do seem to do a very good job.
