Maintenance
Your Microlathe is a precision tool. In order to maintain this precision and prolong its
useful life, it is advised that you follow the recommended daily and periodic maintenance
tables printed below.
Daily
Carry out a visual inspection. Repair any damage immediately. Minor damage to the
beds should be taken out with an oilstone.
Move the saddle and the traverse slide back and forth by hand, check that the
movement is smooth.
Spread a light film of oil over the bed and the traverse slide bed.
Directly spray oil on the lead screw after every use.
If the lathe is subject to prolonged use, oil the lead screw and bearings every 3-4 hours.
(The lead screw is located underneath and runs the entire length of the lathe
bed).
Daily after -use
1.
Clean all swarf and chips away from the machine bed, slide surfaces, and the tool
post.
2.
Exercise the slides and ensure no swarf etc., is lodged in the drive shaft tunnels.
If you have been using a coolant make sure the machine is throughly dried off.
3.
Check the tool, ensure it is usable for the next time, if not re-sharpen
or replace the tool tip.
4.

spanners chuck keys etc, and put them away.

oil to all surfaces, both hidden and visible.
