Headstock Lubricant
The headstock or spindle of the TL series machine is a grease-pack design, and will not require
any regular maintenance.
Grease Points
The TL series lathes are equipped with grease fittings rather than an oil lube system to provide
surface to surface lubrication for all contact points on the machine. The linear ways, the
ballscrews, and the tailstock are all equipped with grease fittings, and they should be lubricated
weekly to insure consistent performance and accuracy of your machine.
TL Series Lubrication Points

2. X-axis cross-slide ball screw
3. Z-axis saddle trucks
4. Tail-stock screw
5. Z-axis saddle ball screw
6. Tailstock base; four places
For the lubrication points shown above, a general purpose lithium grease is required with
enough volume to push grease out from the front and back of the linear ways, and from
around the ball screw bearing housings
