Lubrication
Ball Fitting Lubrication Points—Lubricate the
following areas every 8 hours of actual use:
1. Left Leadscrew Support
2. Compound Slide
3. Compound Slide Leadscrew
4. Tailstock Barrel
5. Tailstock Leadscrew
6. Right Leadscrew Support
For lubricating your machine, we recommend
that you use a manual oiler (oil can) filled with
ISO 68 or SAE 20W non-detergent oil or similar
lubricant.
Ball fittings—Shown in Figure 61, ball fittings
are responsible for the majority of the machine
lubrication. To lubricate ball fittings, depress the
ball with the tip of the oil can nozzle and squirt a
little oil inside the fitting. Make sure to clean the
outside of the ball fitting before and after each
use to keep out contaminants.
