3.3 Cleaning and Lubrication
Cleaning the Machine
Keep the lathe clean at all times. Pay particular attention
to the guide slides, the tool holder shaft, and the screw of
the carriage movement.
Lubrication
Lightly oil the top and bottom guide slides periodically.
Periodically grease the screw of the carriage movement
with EP grease.
The oil in the gearbox can only be checked or filled by
removing the lathe motor. With the motor removed there
is a fill plug that is removed to check the oil level.
Figure 46 Oil Fill Plug
The oil level should be halfway up the spindle at a mini
-
mum, although more is allowable. If additional oil is
required, use
Lubriplate Gear oil, #148-136-2.
Clean and lubricate the compensation device regularly.
Lubricate the trolley pivot regularly.
Care and Maintenance of the Compensation
Adaptor
The compensation adaptor is not a field-serviceable part.
Keep the adaptor free of debris. Should there be any evi
-
dence of oil leaks, contact your service representative
immediately.
Use the BitMinder feature to keep track of bit
rotation rather than rotating only after a poor
cut. BitMinder also has a brief video
illustrating how to rotate bits.
Note position and orientation of cutting insert
holder. Rounded cut out portions of insert
holder must face inward.
Do not use compressed air to clean the brake
lathe.
