Newbie VQC20/50B (stupid) newbie wants to fill spindle oil. - CNCzone.com-The Largest Machinist Community on the net!

Dear all,
On my new VQC20/50B I've got an alarm saying that the spindle oil level is low.
So I read the oil reference on the machine, I bought it and now I look everywhere for finding where the oil goes!

I disassemble the spindle carter but I do not see any tank.

I know that it is a stupid problem but does anybody have a picture or a PDF for finding where the tank is?

I already found 2 tanks: the first (and biggest) is under the rotary tool holder, the second (very small) is just above the big air filter it seems to be connected on the air supply.

Thanks a lot

Hi.The oil for the spindle is pumped from the oil cooler which is under the very small oil tank you have found.
Send me your email and I`ll send you some info.
