G1006/7 Heavy Duty Mill/Drill

Points requiring periodic lubrication are:
• The main column. A light film of oil (SAE 30)
will smooth action and prevent rust and cor-
rosion.
• The quill. A light coating of oil (SAE 30) will
ensure smooth movement.
• The quill return spring. Oil annually with a
light lubricant (SAE 30). Apply with a brush or
squirt can.
• The quill pinion. Lubricate every 90 days
with non-hardening grease.
• The table leadscrews. Lubricate once each
week with several drops of SAE 30.
• The table leadscrew bearings. Lubricate
the bearings located at the ends of the table
and just in front of the Y axis hand crank on
a daily basis. You will find oil ports with a ball.
Apply a small amount of SAE 30 using the oil
can’s tip to push in the ball.
• The table and apron slides. Lubricate the
table slides daily. An oil port with a ball is
located on the operator's side of the table
edge. The apron slide can be oiled directly.
Make sure to carefully clean chips and dirt off
of this slide before oiling.
Inspect regularly for tension and wear. Replace
when necessary with a size B-42 belt for the
spindle pulley to the idler pulley belt and a size
B-34 belt from the idler pulley to the motor pulley
belt. Check pulleys to ensure that they are prop-
erly aligned.
The internal quill pin is a setscrew and has been
pre-adjusted at the factory. It should not need
adjustment under normal circumstances.
The slotted setscrew on the left side of the head
is used for limiting the amount of rotational play
in the quill body. Loosening the check-nut and
tightening the setscrew will work to eliminate this
play in the quill.
If you are worried that you might have excessive
quill play, spindle looseness or if an accident has
occurred that requires re-adjusting this setscrew,
contact Technical Support for advice.
