I have one, and they are a little 'burgers and beer' instead of 'champagne and caviar'.

Works for me, since I have a surface grinder and I dont have 5K for a cutter master, or the money or space for a dedicated tool and cutter grinder, which never come up for sale with the fixtures etc.
I also have a good source of cheap used end mills and patience to use this tool. I have many days when I'm not up to more strenuous tasks too.
You need to make a better instructional video for @Susquatch
Found the 5C fixture on Amazon for $75. Over 100 every place else.

So this why the oiling system doesn't work, it has all turned to thick gelatin.
I'll need to replace all the soft vinyl oil lines because they are all clogged.
So far I've been able to find 4mm OD, 2mm ID nylon hose but not the bendable stuff, I'm not sure nylon will be able to make some of the sharp turns.
Are these kinds of fittings standard on mill oiling systems? Hunting around I'm not seeing much, McMaster-Carr has nothing similar.
Most of the grease had hardened up to the point of being difficult to turn handles so it all had to come apart.
With all the grease that had been slathered on everything, I was surprised to find the Y axis screw had no lubrication at all, completely dry.
