Tecalemit grease guns

[Yorkie]

Hope your hols went well Rob.

I'm not familiar with your model of Myford lathe, and whilst I don't want to infer that you can't tell a grease nipple from an oil cup, I'd sound a note of caution before you start pumping grease into the bearings. Most lubrication points on Myfords need oil - not grease, apart from the Series 10, and I'd quote as follows:

All the lubrication nipples on Myford Headstocks are for oil with the exception of the two nipples on Series 10 lathes fitted with taper roller bearings which should be greased.

Obviously if yours is a Series 10 lathe, then it does indeed need grease.

Happy turning!
