Maintenance.
General.
Keep your machine clean. At the end of each day, clean the machine. Wood contains
moisture, and if sawdust or wood chips are not removed they will cause rust.
In general, we recommend that you only use a Teflon-based lubricant on the lathe.
Regular oil attracts dust and dirt. Teflon lubricant tends to dry and has less of a tendency
to accumulate dirt and saw dust.
Periodically check that all nuts and bolts are tight.
Drive belt.
The drive belt should last for many years (depending on the usage) but needs to be inspected
regularly for cracks, cuts and general wear. If damage is found, replace the belt.
Bearings.
All bearings are sealed for life and do not require any maintenance. If a bearing becomes
faulty, replace it.
Rust.
The lathe is made from steel and cast iron. All none-painted surfaces will rust if not protected.
It is recommended that they be protected by applying wax or a Teflon- based lubricant to
them.
Center point alignment and slide
clearance adjustment.
The center point alignment and slide
clearance are adjusted at the factory and no
adjustment should be required.
Should movement or wear have taken place,
the following adjustment procedure should
be conducted.
Note.
The slide clearance of the headstock
and the tailstock must be checked and
adjusted should it be needed prior to
adjusting the center point alignment.
Slide adjustment.
Loosen the clamp handle on the tailstock and check for side movement.
If it is excessive, Insert an Allen key into the adjusting screw and tighten.
Note.
By rotating the adjustment screw, it moves into the adjusting slot which opens and
removes the excessive clearance between the tailstock and the bed.
Note .
Only make very small adjustments and then recheck the clearance. After adjustment
Center points aligned
