Maintenance Schedule
Cleaning & Protecting
Regular cleaning is one of the most important
steps in taking care of this lathe. We recommend
that the cleaning routine be planned into the
workflow schedule, so that adequate time is set
aside to do the job right.
steps in taking care of this lathe. We recommend

aside to do the job right.
Typically, the easiest way to clean swarf from
the bed ways and chip drawer is to use a wet/dry
shop vacuum that is dedicated for this purpose.
The small chips left over after vacuuming can be
wiped up with a slightly oiled rag. Avoid using
compressed air to blow off chips, as it may drive
them deeper into moving surfaces and could
cause sharp chips to fly into your face or hands.

Besides the ways, all other unpainted and
machined surfaces should be wiped down daily
to keep them rust-free and in top condition. This
includes any surface that is vulnerable to rust
if left unprotected (especially any parts that are
exposed to water-soluble coolant). Typically,
a thin film of oil is all that is necessary for
protection.

For optimum performance from this machine,
this maintenance schedule must be strictly
followed. We strongly recommend all operators
make a habit of following the daily maintenance
