5.4 LUBRICATING THE MACHINE
Table 5-2 on page 68 provides information on recommended lubricants.
Change the oil in the main body drive gear and grease the lower spindle bearing after
every 1000 hours of use, or yearly.
The more frequently oil is used to lubricate the leadscrew and nuts, the
longer they will last.
