Slides and Ways
Apply oil to the ways and slides after each use.
Wipe the ways with a clean rag prior to lubrication
to ensure that no grime is carried along with your
lubricant into friction-sensitive areas. Applying oil
to the bedways and other bare metal parts also
protect the lathe from rust and pitting.
Lead Screw and Feed Rod, see Figure 47
Be sure to clean and lubricate the leadscrew, feed
rod and switch control rod. the lead screw and
feed rod have a bearing on the tail stock end sup-
port that will require one to two squirts of oil.
Headstock Gearbox
the oil in the headstock should be changed after
the first 2 hours of use. then, every 6 months,
depending on usage. We recommend using Mobil
dtE light or an iso 32 equivalent. the headstock
reservoir holds 3 ⁄ quarts of oil.

Tailstock , see Figure 48
the tailstock is fitted with three oiling ports. the
tailstock barrel may be oiled directly. Apply oil
each week, or after every five uses (depending
on the frequency of operation). Be sure to clean
the slide ways for the tailstock and lift the tailstock
and oil on the ways with way oil. it is a good idea
to remove the tailstock once a month and wipe the
bottom thoroughly and replace.
