internal cavity of the rotary
table, then lubricate the worm
gear and shaft (Page 17).
Cleaning & Protecting
It is essential that the rotary table
be cleaned after every use. DO
NOT use compressed air to clean
your rotary table. Chips or debris
may become lodged between the
moving parts, reducing the life and
accuracy of the tool. Instead, use a
stiff-bristled brush to remove the
chips and swarf, then wipe down
the machined surfaces with a clean
shop rag before applying a thin
coat of light machine oil to prevent
corrosion.
Surface Care
Nicks, dings, and scratches on the
machined surfaces of the rotary
table can have an adverse effect
on accuracy and may damage the
workpiece or mill table.
Prior to use, dress or "stone" these
machined surfaces with a fine
sharpening stone. A few strokes
of the stone on the rotary table
surface, the machined base and
back, and the mill table will help
to ensure longevity and accuracy.
Make sure to thoroughly wipe these
surfaces clean to remove any dust
generated from the process, then
apply a thin coat of light machine oil
to prevent corrosion.
Tip: After stoning and wiping down
the surfaces, run your fingers lightly
across the surfaces to detect any
irregularities.
