Maintenance
The amount of maintenance depends on the amount of use the machine gets. However,
it is important to carry out routine maintenance to prevent premature wear and shortening
the life of the machine.
1. Inspect and clean all non painted surfaces. Lubricate using a light machine oil. Do
Not over lubricate. Oil can be applied to the work table and column etc., using a soft
oil soaked cloth.
2. Inspect and clean all moving parts. Lubricate using machine oil. Check for smooth
operation.
3. Inspect the machine for signs of wear or damage. Any faults should be rectified
before continuing.
4. Check all nuts and bolts etc. are tight.
Slide Adjustments
With use, play may develop in the cross, longitudinal and the post slides. It is possible to
adjust these components in order to eradicate any unnecessary movement.
Before making any adjustments, clean all friction surfaces. It is necessary to move the table
and cross slide to both extremes to carry out the cleaning process correctly.
When finished cleaning, re-lubricate using a light machine oil.
Return both the table and cross slide to their central positions.

Adjustment is effected by means of Jib Strips. These
are precision machined steel strips, positioned
between the mating surfaces as shown in Fig.9. The
strips are adjustable so as to apply pressure on these
surfaces, sufficient for the parts to slide easily about
each other without unnecessary slackness. The
longitudinal slide for example carries four adjusters,
shown in Fig.10.
To adjust, first ensure that the slides are lubricated
with a thin film of machine oil as described
previously.
Slacken off all adjuster locknuts, using the
hex. wrench provided, and back off each
adjuster by half a turn.
Screw IN each adjuster in turn until a slight
resistance is felt.
Wind the slide through its full travel to check
that there are no high spots, and travel is
smooth throughout.
If the slide moves smoothly and all slack has
been eliminated, hold the adjuster still and
tighten all lock nuts.
Finally, wind the slide through its full length once again to double check. If there is any slack
or tightness, readjust as described above.
