I recently picked up a Jet JTM-2 mill, which appears to be a Bridgeport J-head clone if I understand correctly.
It has an oil cup for the gear case, on the same level and somewhat behind the power downfeed engage/disengage lever. The Jet manual specifies NLGI-1 grease; is that correct? How does grease flow down the oil cup? It seems to me that grease would just sit in the cup and not lubricate anything, but maybe I'm missing something.
What do you guys use to lubricate this location?
