MAINTENANCE
Maintenance on your lathe should be done at periodic intervals to ensure that the machine is in
good working order. Inspection and maintenance should be performed at least twice a year but
more often if the lathe receives constant use.
Check daily for any unsafe conditions and fix immediately.
Check that all nuts and bolts are properly tightened.
On a weekly basis clean the machine and the area around it.
Lubricate threaded components and sliding devices.
Apply rust inhibitive lubricant to all non-painted surfaces.
Note
: Proper maintenance can increase the life expectancy of your machine.
Check all fasteners to make sure they are tight and check all adjustments that they are in
order.
Clean and oil the lathe beds so that the headstock, tailstock and tool support base will
slide easily. Clean any rust spots that may develop on the bed with a commercial rust
remover.
Use compressed air to blow out the interior of the headstock in order to keep chips and
sawdust from accumulating on the belts and pulleys.
Clean out the morse tapers on both the headstock and tailstock. Commercially available
cleaners may be acquired form local tool stores.
Check the drive belt for tightness. It should be snug but not overly tight.
Use a mill file to remove any nicks or dings from the tool rests.
Clean and lubricate the tailstock ram and locking mechanism.
WARNING:
Make sure the electrical disconnect is OFF before working on
the machine.
Maintenance should be performed on a regular basis by qualified personnel.
Always follow proper safety precautions when working on or around any machinery.
