Slides and Ways
Wipe the ways with a clean rag and apply oil before
and after each use. Apply oil to the bedways and other
bare metal parts to also protect the lathe from rust and
pitting.
Lead Screw and Feed Rod
Be sure to clean and lubricate the leadscrew, feed rod
and switch control rod (
Figure 57
). The lead screw and
feed rod have a bearing on the tailstock end support that
will require one to two squirts of oil before every use.
Tailstock
The tailstock (
Figure 58
) is fitted with two ball oilers.
Apply oil each week or after every five uses (depending
on the frequency of operation). Be sure to clean the
tailstock slide and lift the tailstock and squirt a few drops
of oil on the ways. Remove the tailstock once a month
and wipe the bottom thoroughly and reinstall, if using
water-based cutting fluid, do this daily.
