Bedways
Oil Type ............SB1365 Oil or ISO 68 Equivalent
Oil Amount
............................................ As Needed
Lubrication Frequency
...................................Daily
Before lubricating the bedways (see Figure 81),
clean them with mineral spirits. Apply a thin
coat of oil along the length of the bedway. Move
the carriage and tailstock to access the entire
length of the bedways. If the lathe is in a moist
or dirty environment, the bedways should be
lubricated more often.
Leadscrew
Oil Type ............SB1365 Oil or ISO 68 Equivalent
Oil Amount
............................................ As Needed
Lubrication Frequency
...................................Daily
Before lubricating the leadscrew (see Figure 81),
clean it first with mineral spirits. A stiff brush
works well to help clean out the threads. Be sure
to move the carriage out of the way, so you can
clean the entire length of the leadscrew.
Apply a thin coat of oil along the length of the
leadscrew. Use a stiff brush to make sure the oil
is applied evenly and down into the threads.
Note: In some environments, abrasive material
can become caught in the leadscrew lubricant
and drawn into the half nut. In this case,
lubricate the leadscrew with a quality dry
lubricant.

This lathe has 10 ball oilers that should be oiled
on a daily basis before beginning operation.
Proper lubrication of ball oilers is done with a
pump-type oil can. We do not recommend using
an oil can that has metal needle- or lance-type
tips, as they can push the ball too far into the
oiler, break the spring seat, and lodge the ball in
the oil galley.
Lubricate the ball oilers before and after lathe
use, and more frequently under heavy use. When
lubricating ball oilers, first clean the outside
surface to remove any dust or grime. Push the tip
of the oil can nozzle against the ball oiler, then
pump the oil can once or twice. If you see sludge
and contaminants coming out of the lubrication
area, keep pumping the oil can until the oil runs
clear. When finished, wipe away any excess oil.
Refer to Figures 82–86 and the following
descriptions to identify the locations of each ball
oiler.
A. Saddle slides.
B. Compound rest slides.
C. Compound rest leadscrew.
D. Cross slide leadscrew and slides.
E Tailstock leadscrew.
F. Leadscrew end bearing.
G. Feed rod end bearing.
H. Change gear bearings.
