Maintenance
9.1.1 Rust Prevention
Exposed iron and steel surfaces will rust if proper care is not taken to protect them. The following
recommendaons will slow or reduce the onset of surface rust.
If possible, install the PCNC mill in a temperature- and humidity-controlled environment.
Always use a ood coolant recommended for machining; never use water or a coolant that
does not contain rust inhibitors. When using a water-based coolant, always mix the coolant
concentrate to the diluon rao recommended by the coolant manufacturer.
If the mill is not used for more than 72 hours, apply a light mist of water repellent oil such as
WD-40 to the exposed bare metal surfaces.
Trapped areas are suscepble to rust. Apply way oil or machine oil directly to the table surface
under the trapped area when you mount a vise or xture on the mill.
NOTE: Light surface rust on the table can be removed with a machinists stone.
9.1.2 Way Covers
Way covers serve an important funcon they keep chips and abrasive debris from damaging the
slideways. Clean and inspect the way covers per maintenance schedule.
9.1.3 Flood Coolant System
Regular maintenance of the ood coolant system will prolong the service life of the coolant pump.
Collect tramp oil with an absorbent pillow or a mechanical oil skimmer. Replace pillows as
