Surface grinder bearings

[murraym]

I finally got this surface grinder up and running. It is old but it runs good and is really smooth when it runs. My question is regarding the bearing oilers. How often do you think they should drip? Right now they drop about every 65 seconds. I'm just wondering if that sounds about right.
Thank you
Mike

Better to have too much than not enough.
work just spent $5k to have our 12x28 spindle rebuilt.

Maybe turn it up to every 30 seconds and then adjust by how much oil leakage there is, and the temp by feel. Mike

Sounds like a reasonable plan. Thank you
