Cleaning Lubrication Lines Internal to the Machine

Many times it is necessary to clean lubrication lines internal to the machine tool. Over a period of time, the lubrication lines on a machine tool become internally 'gummed up' with oil solids and dirt. Exterior lines may be simply replaced, however, some lines are 'buried' so deeply inside the machine that it is impractical to attempt replacement. By using a standard grease gun and a few special adapter fittings, it is possible to use relatively high pressures to clean the lines. The adapter part numbers for cleaning Bijur systems are:

General Saddle-Table Bijur Meter Assignments

I cringe when someone tells me that they have already removed all of the meters from a Saddle-Table assembly and they would now like to order new meters!
