unfortunately your ways look fairly normal for a Fadal with any kind of age & usage on it but Fadals are common to have problems with oiling.
The brand of oil seems to be an issue on these machines with some having more solids (parafin) in the oil this will precipitate out and plug the screen, the cartridge filter on the out side of the tank and also plug or render the injectors at each manifold useless.
Depending on the age of your machine the pressure gauge at the oiler should read from 200 to 350 lbs when cycling either on a 10 minute cycle or 4 minute cycle- again age and model affect this timing.
The most common oiling problems seem to be with X axis and usually don't get caught until the turcite is gone and the ways are corroded. |
