Hello Gents,

I just finished disassembly for a brand new mill - Optimum MH25V - and realized the slideway oiling concept is s**t and needs redesign.

To be more precise, there are oil channels, but only for Y and Z. X is on it's own. And the Y and Z channels do not provide proper lubrication. Tested it and the oil does not reach in all places and the slideway is not preperly lubed.

So, I would need some help with designing proper oil channels for this machine.

While I have seen, here on the forum, how to do it for the sliding surfaces, I still do not know how to properly lubricate the dovetail part, especially the side with the gib. The machine has parallel gibs.

Does anybody have an idea how is this made? Pictures would be most wellcome.

Thank you,
Andrei
