The base machine, other than the box ways, is close enough to a
Bridgeport that lube and operation specs for a BP are applicable.
Spindle oil (Velocite #10) in the spindle. Medium way oil (Vactra #4)
for the ways.
I assume the mystery knobs are on the CNC control. Have you tried
Anilam?

If you do find instructions for adjusting the ways I'd love to hear
what you find. The multiple gibs and Turcited surfaces make adjusting
by feel difficult, if not impossible. Mine is a '96 manual machine.
