I think most people just drill them for push-in button oilers, so it would depend on the size of the oilers.? Could just drill a hole and oil through there, but that leaves the possibility of contamination from machining particles.

The lead screw brackets on my mini lathe do not have oil holes.
Anyone know what size they should be?

well on John Deere equipment bearings, so I trust them.
