Maintenance
Your Mill 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 and Periodic Maintenance
Daily
Carry out a visual inspection. Repair any damage immediately. Minor damage to the
beds should be taken out with an oilstone.
Move the worktable and the traverse feed back and forth by hand, check that the
movement is smooth.
Spread a light film of oil over the worktable and the traverse slide bed.
Oil the end bearings of the drive shafts. Squirt oil onto the slide faces of mating
components.
Exercise the components to ensure the oil is spread over both visible and obscure
surfaces.
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 thoroughly dried off.
3. Check the tool, ensure it is usable the next time, if not re-sharpen or replace the tool
tip.
4. Lightly oil spray all the machine beds and surfaces.
5. Clean and lightly oil any tools you may have been using (drill chucks, spanners,
chuck keys etc), and put them away.
6. Switch off the power supply. Disconnect the plug.
7. Cover the machine over with a dust cloth.
Weekly
1. Move the traverse slide fully back to give access to the tunnel, blow out to make sure
all swarf is cleared away and heavily spray oil the tunnel, exercise the slide to work the
oil into the drive thread and to lubricate the dog.
2. Spray oil the slide and the worktable bed, exercise the worktable to spread the oil
to all surfaces, both hidden and visible.
3. Spray oil the underside of the machine onto the drive screws, exercise to ensure the
oil is coating all components.
4. Clean and spray oil the rise and fall drive screw, exercise to ensure all parts are
coated.
5. Check the movement of the worktable, the traverse slide and the head, check they
are smooth and ‘tight’, if necessary reset the gybe strips until the movements are
smooth and tight.
6. Wipe the quill outer sleeve clean and lightly oil, exercise the quill to spread the oil in
the sleeve bushes.
Monthly
a) Give the motor a good ‘blow through’ to remove any dust, dirt etc,
b) Check all the interlocks function correctly.
