Spindle nuts
Re-adjust
An increased clearance in the
spindles of the cross-table can be
reduced by re-adjusting the
spindle nuts. See spare parts
drawing 1.
The spindle nuts are re-adjusted
by reducing the flank of screw
thread of the spindle nut with an
adjusting screw. By re-adjusting
you can assure smooth running
of the toolpath, otherwise the
wear by friction between spindle
nut/spindle would increase
considerably.
Every six months
Geared mill-drill

Grease
Swivel the mill-drill head to the
right by 90°.
Detach the cover plate on the
rear side.
Lubricate the gear wheels
The spindle bearing arrangement is permanently lubricated. No new lubrication is necessary.
