SECTION 6: MAINTENANCE
A horizontal boring machine bit requires proper
care.
•
Store the bits so their sharp points and flutes
are protected. A wooden or plastic box that
keeps bits from touching one another works
best.
•
Keep bits clean and rust free.
•
Store lightly oiled.
•
Have bits sharpened as soon as they show
any signs of dulling.
Bit Care
Cleaning the Model G0846 is relatively easy.
Vacuum excess wood chips and sawdust, and
wipe off the remaining dust with a dry cloth. If any
resin has built up, use mineral spirits to remove it,
then when dry apply a light coat of oil.
Protect the unpainted cast-iron work table by wip-
ing it clean after every use—this ensures moisture
from wood dust does not remain on bare metal
surfaces. Keep the table rust-free with regular
applications of products like SLIPIT
®
(see
Page
26 for more details).
