The headstock rides on the columns and is moved by the
rotation of the leadscrews inside the columns. Loosen
the dust sleeve to access the columns and leadscrews
(see
Figure.34
). Apply a thin coat of ISO 68 machine oil
to the outside surface of the columns and brush on a
light application of multi-purpose grease to the leadscrew
threads. Move the headstock up and down to distribute
the lubricant.

sprockets.
