Vertical Mills:
View the oil level sight glass in the location shown. The proper
level is half way on the sight glass. If more oil is needed, remove the bronze
muffler at the top of the cam box. Pour oil in slowly to the proper level (capacity
is 6 quarts), then replace the muffler.
Checking the Spindle gearbox oil level
50 Taper Spindles
- Remove the inspection plate from the right side of the
column to access a spindle gearbox oil level dipstick.
40 Taper Spindles
- There is no way to determine the spindle gearbox oil
level. Drain, then fill the gearbox.
Vertical Mill 40-Taper Transmission Oil Replacement
There is no visible indicator for the level of transmission oil in the VF 1-6/40T
models.
To add transmission oil, remove the access panel located directly behind the
spindle head. This will expose the Transmission Oil Overflow Pipe. Place a
container on the table, beneath this outlet. Manually jog the Z axis to its full -Z
travel. Power down the machine. Locate the transmission oil fill cup, accessed
from the top of the motor housing. There is a cut-out provided in the top of the
motor housing sheetmetal for filling. Slowly pour in Mobil DTE 25 oil until oil
starts to come out of the overflow pipe; this overflow indicates the reservoir is
full. Close the transmission oil fill cup, wipe off the overflow pipe and replace
the access cover. Consider any overflow oil to be used and dispose of properly.
