Lubrication
The only parts on this machine that require periodic lubrication are the ways where the cartridge
slide rides on the elevation housing and where the worm gear and bushing are located. Use a
light grease or anti-seizing compound on the ways and worm gear and give the shaft mount a
shot of light oil. The frequency of lubrication depends on the amount you use the shaper. As a
habit, inspect the machine at least once a month.
Spindle Bearings
The spindle bearing housing equipped with the shaper features factory-sealed bearings.
A sealed bearing requires no lubrication during its lifetime. Should a bearing fail, your shaper will
probably develop a noticeable rumble that will increase when the machine is put under load. If
allowed to get worse, overheating of the journal containing the bad bearing could occur. If the
bad bearing is not replaced, it will eventually seize
—doing damage to other parts of the
machine.
You must remove the complete bearing housing assembly to replace the bearings.
1. Disconnect and lockout power to the shaper!
2. Remove the V-belt.
3. Loosen the locking bolt (A) on the spindle
slide.
4. The bearing housing will drop down. If you
need to spread the casting more, use a
screwdriver.
Important: Use care when
spreading the casting
—it will break if too much
pressure is applied. When the casting is spread,
the housing can fall down. Watch your fingers to
avoid being pinched. Place a pad underneath to
protect the housing from being damaged if it falls.
5. Remove the spindle and replace the bearings inside the bearing housing.
6. To slide the housing back in, reverse the procedure. Make sure the locking bolt is tightened
securely
