Any one interested in the oiling mods I did?
Here is the main saddle slot. I'll make the bearings slotted to match. The slot is 1/4" deep and a little bit over 1/4" wide. I didn't want to go much over 1/4" wide because I want the saddle to have enough meat to support the bearing. You can also see the 5/16" x 5/16" set screw in the cam feed hole. I installed these ahead of time so I can back them out and maintain the thread-ability of it. I'll center drill the set screws .125" before they go in for the final time.
