LUBRICATION
The V-18II was designed with a goal to minimize the maintenance required so as to reduce downtime. Moving
parts of the V-18 II will require periodic lubrication nonetheless, primarily application of a general purpose
grease to the guide arms, vise ways, and the linear bearings.The following photos show the location of grease
fittings that should be lubricated monthly
.
In addition to the grease fittings shown, it is good practice to maintain a constant greased surface on the vise
ways. As the vises are precision fit to the vise table, the constant friction of metal to metal can be effectively
alleviated with the application of a general purpose grease. If the saw is left for long periods without use, an
effective coating of grease will prevent metal to metal adhesion and rust.
One of 4 linear bearing block
grease nipples. There is one at
each corner of the head carrier
cover.
G
Idler wheel slide assembly grease
nipples are found behind the wheel. One
above and one below the wheel shaft. A
flexible grease gun hose with a 45
o
fitting is required to apply the grease.
There is one grease nipple for
the idler guide arm slide under
the black plug.
