Lubrication
An essential step for lubrication is cleaning the
components before lubricating them.
This idea is critical because dust and chips build
up on lubricated components and make the
components hard to move. Simply adding more
grease to the components with built-up grime on
them will not yield smooth moving components.
Clean the components in this section with mineral
spirits.
All other bearings are internally lubricated and
sealed at the factory. Simply leave them alone
unless they need to be replaced.
The following are the main components that need
to be lubricated:
•
Grease Fittings
•
Table Elevation Screws
•
Table Lifting Mechanism
•
Feed Belt Gear Box
Schedules are based on average use. Adjust
lubrication according to your level of use.
