When was the last time you lubed her up?

I oiled the worm drive with some 3 in one oil. Seemed to help. Are there oil ports anywhere on the machine? I will be purchasing some white lithium grease today. Thanks for your response. Probably don’t have 10 hours on the machine. How often does it need lube?

Although some people use grease, Onefinity asks that only 3 in 1 oil be used to lubricate their linear motion hardware.
