Lubrication
Ball Oilers
Lubricate both ball oilers every 8 hours (see
Figures 28
–29). Use a manual oiler (oil can) filled
with ISO 68 or SAE 20W non-detergent oil.
To lubricate ball oilers, depress the ball with the
tip of the oil can nozzle and squirt a little oil inside
the fitting. Make sure to clean the outside of the
ball oiler before and after each use to keep out
contaminants.

Ways
Clean the longitudinal, cross, and headstock ways
of all debris. Lightly lubricate each way with ISO
68 or SAE 20W oil.
Longitudinal and Cross Lead
Screws
After cleaning the longitudinal and cross lead
screws of all debris, paint a small amount of white
lithium grease on each one. Then, move the
attached part all the way through its full range of
motion on the lead screw.
