Cleaning/protecting
typically, the easiest way to clean swarf from the
machine is to use a wet/dry shop vacuum that is
dedicated for this purpose. the small chips left
over after vacuuming can be wiped up with a
slightly oiled rag. avoid using compressed air to
blow off chips, as this may drive them deeper into
the moving surfaces or cause sharp chips to fly
into your face or hands.
all unpainted and machined surfaces should be
wiped down daily with way oil to keep them rust
free and in top condition. this includes any sur-
face that is vulnerable to rust if left unprotected.
