For the quill, table, and column, an occasional
application of light machine oil is all that is neces-
sary. Before applying lubricant, clean off any dust
or metal chips.
Your goal is to achieve adequate lubrication. Too
much lubrication will attract dirt and dust. Various
parts of your machine could lose their freedom of
movement as a result.
