MAINTENANCE
Metal chips left on the machine that have been soaked
with water-based coolant will invite oxidation and a
gummy residue build-up around the moving parts. Use a
brush and shop vacuum to remove chips and debris from
the working surfaces of the mill/drill. Never blow off the
mill/drill with compressed air, as this will force metal
chips deep into the mechanisms and may cause injury to
yourself or bystanders.
Remove any rust build-up from unpainted cast-iron
surfaces of mill/drill and treat with a non-staining
lubricant after cleaning.
Protect other unpainted cast-iron surfaces with regular
applications of a product like South Bend Way Oil for
Lathes.
