Hi guys,

Maybe some T560 users can help me out here.
I'm wondering where I should put oil on my T560, and how often?

Thanks in advanced for the tip..

Hey Buddy,

If you mean for the shaft inside, Souri recommended once a month for a regular daily usage.

that's what he told me
Cheers

Hi Ben,

How do you put oil there without turn the machine upside down?
Thanks a lot..

Hey Ben, sorry to jump in, but could you send me that info as well?
I've been using it for a while now, and I haven't oiled it once :roll:
What oil and how does one apply?

Thanks in advance.
Cheers!

I sent him a picture of Gun oil in spray and he answered ....good good good.
I guess it's ok.

Spray oil is the easiest since it's goes everywhere...careful not to put too much.... I did and ended up with a huge splatter on my disk while cutting.
