Schedule
Cleaning
Lubrication
it is essential that the rotary table be cleaned after
every use and oiled with a light machine oil to
prevent corrosion.
do not use compressed air to clean your
rotary table. Chips or debris may become lodged
between the moving parts, reducing the life and
accuracy of the machine. instead, use a stiff-
bristled brush to remove the chips and swarf, then
wipe down the surfaces with a clean shop rag.
every 80 hours of use, completely disassembly
the rotary table, then thoroughly clean each part
and re-lubricate.
place the rotary table in a horizontal position and
check the oil site glass located on the back side
of the base (see
figure 20). if necessary, add a
high-quality 80W–90W gear oil until the oil level
reaches half-way in the site glass.

Ball Bearing
Ball oiler
the ball bearing ball oiler is located on the edge
of the rotary table (see
figure 20). With the rotary
table positioned vertically, use a squirt-gun style
oiler to add one or two pumps of 20W non-deter-
gent oil to the ball oiler per day.
