The assemblies are all cast iron and steel sliding surfaces and threads should be kept clean and
dry:aperiodiccleaningbysprayingwithWD-40andblowno󰀨withcompressedairwillkeepthelead
screws in good service. Gibs should be free of dirt and slide freely.
The Base and Motor Tower: The CUTTERMASTER Professional JX has been designed using the
proven Cuttermaster base, the system is stable and allows for the use of magnetic base indicators in
virtually any position. There is no guessing when dialing-in any feed or position move. Being made
fromamonolithiccastbaseandmotortower,theJXSabsorbsvibration.Havingsignicantmassalso

tightening. Note: Always check all wheel mounts, angular and rotational adjusts for suitable
tightness prior performing a grinding operation.
Choose a good, stable and quiet location (The CUTTERMASTER Professional is very quiet) for the
machine. We recommend our CM-10S Cabinet Base if one is needed. Level the machine using a lev-
elonthewaysandnetunewiththeadjustablefeet.
Wipeanyoilo󰀨oftheways.Theyshouldbeclean
and dry for operation. They may be wiped down from
time to time with a WD-40 and oil mix to prevent rust.
During normal operation care should be taken to
keep the carriages and leadscrews clean and free
from dust and can be done with compressed air. The
lead screws are black oxide 4140 steel with steel
drive nuts. The carriage drive nuts can be easily re-
placed should they wear over time.
A light colored back drop helps the operator locate
the grinding wheel as it approaches the tool and also
protects the ways.
