Maintaining the NOVA DVR SATURN
General Maintenance
Caution: Always isolate the lathe from the power supply (unplug) before carrying out any maintenance
Clean the work area and Lathe. Vacuum shavings and dust from the Headstock,
Tailstock, under the Toolslide and in between the bed.
Wax exposed cast iron parts with a good quality paste wax, especially the bed rails.
Buff out the wax thoroughly.
Check tightness of nuts and bolts.
Lubricate, with one or two drops of light-weight oil, the tailstock quill threads, index pin
shaft, and the toolslide camshaft (remove plastic plugs) and toolslide front camshaft
bore.
Grease tailstock quill threads. Turn the handwheel so the quill threads are exposed,
apply grease to the threads, crank the handwheel back and forth to work in the
grease, wipe off any excess.
Lubricate the tailstock slot with one or two drops of light-weight oil.
With the power switched off and dis-connected, remove the upper-rear guard and
remove any wood dust with a vacuum cleaner. Avoid getting the nozzle too close to
the electronics. After this step dust may fall into the Headstock so suck the dust out
through the vent at the front of the Headstock under the spindle. Replace guard.
