Boring Head Assembly
Depth & Throat Adjustment Shafts
Use a grease gun to inject several pumps of
Mobilith SHC460 grease (or equivalent) into the
grease fitting (see
Figure 64), 2–3 times every 40
hours. Since the boring head is pre-packed with
grease at the factory, it is not necessary to pump
large amounts of grease into it.
Note: We do NOT recommend repacking the
boring head with grease during its operational
life. Re-assembly is difficult and may reduce later
accuracy or functionality of the moving parts.

Perform monthly. Clean sawdust and debris from
the visible sections of the vertical and horizontal
slides (see
Figures 61–62) with mineral spirits
and a rag. Apply a thin coat of light machine oil to
the slides. Use the downfeed handle to move the
boring head assembly through the entire range of
motion to evenly distribute the oil.
Perform monthly. Use a stiff bristle brush and
mineral spirits to clean grime and debris from the
visible sections of the depth and throat adjust-
ment shafts (see
Figures 61–62). Apply a thin
coat of light machine oil to the shafts. Turn the
adjustment knobs to move the shafts through the
entire range of motion to evenly distribute the oil.
