Schedule
Cleaning the Model G0657/G0658 is relatively
easy. Vacuum excess wood chips and sawdust,
and wipe off the remaining dust with a dry cloth.
If any resin has built up, use a resin dissolving
cleaner to remove it. Treat all unpainted cast iron
and steel with a non-staining lubricant after clean-
ing.
Cleaning
Protect the unpainted cast iron surfaces on the
lathe by wiping them clean after every use—this
ensures moisture from wood dust does not remain
on bare metal surfaces.
Keep the bed rust-free with regular applications
of products like G96
