Repeat this process and move the carriage left/ right and the cross slide forward/backward to distribute oil along the way guides. Lubricate the guides once before and once after operating the lathe. If the lathe is in a moist or dirty environment, increase the lubrication interval and make sure to keep the oil level full. . Location of way pump, fill plug, and sight glass on the apron. Sight Glass Fill Plug Way Pump Unpainted & Machined Surfaces Besides the ways and leadscrew, all other unpainted and machined surfaces should be wiped down daily to keep them rust-free and in top condition. This includes the top of the saddle, the cross slide, compound slide, tool post, chuck, feedrod, and any other surface you can find that could be vulnerable to rust if left unprotected (this especially includes any parts that may be exposed to water soluble cutting fluids). Typically with these parts, a thin film of oil is all that is necessary for protection. Any quality metal protectant can be used to protect machined surfaces, including either of the oils you use elsewhere in the lathe. -59 EVS Toolroom Lathes MAI NTE NAN C E For Machines Mfg. Since 7/09 Ball Oilers Oil Type .. Mobil DTE Light or ISO 32 Equivalent Oil Amount ..........................................1 or 2 Drops Lubrication Frequency ...................................Daily This lathe has five ball oiler locations (see Figures 118–119) that should be oiled on a daily basis. In order to properly squirt oil into the ball oiler mechanisms, you will need an oil can or gun. Figure 118. Ball oiler locations. Figure 119. Tailstock ball oiler locations. To lubricate the ball oilers, clean the outside surface to remove any dust or grime, push the ball with the tip of the oil can nozzle, and squirt a small amount inside. If the lathe is in a moist or dirty environment, increase the oiling interval. Cleaning Electrical Box Filter The door of the electrical box contains an air filter (Figure 120) to prevent dust from entering the box as the cooling fan pulls in cool air to reduce heat. The air filter should be cleaned on a monthly basis to ensure proper air circulation in the electrical box. A clogged air filter will not allow the cooling fan to do its job, which could result in a decreased lifespan of the electrical components. Figure 120. Electrical box cooling fan and filter. Cooling Fan Filter To clean the filter: 1. DISCONNECT LATHE FROM POWER! 2. Put on a dust mask or respirator to reduce your risk of inhaling fine dust. 3. Open the electrical box door, and remove the electrical box air filter. 4. Use compressed air to blow dust out of the filter. Make sure to blow the dust from the clean side (the side facing inward) of the filter so you do not drive dust farther into the filter. 5. Re-install filter and close electrical box door. -60 For Machines Mfg. Since 7/09 MAI NTE NAN C E EVS Toolroom Lathes End Gearing Grease Type ............................................... NLGI#2 Frequency ................Annually or When Swapping The end gears, shown in Figure 121, should always have a thin coat of heavy grease to minimize corrosion, noise, and wear. Care must be taken to avoid over-greasing because excess grease may be flung onto the V-belts, which will reduce optimal power transmission from the motor. End Gears Figure 121. Location of end gears that require grease. Handling & Care Make sure to clean and lubricate any gears you install or swap. Unless you are very careful during handling and storage, the coating of grease on the gears will easily pickup dirt or debris, which can then spread to the other gears and increase the rate of wear. Make sure the cover remains installed whenever possible to keep the gears free of dust or debris from the outside environment. Lubricating 1. DISCONNECT LATHE FROM POWER! 2. Remove the headstock side cover and all the end gears shown in Figure 121. 3. Clean the end gears thoroughly with mineral spirits to remove all the old grease. Use a small brush if necessary to clean between the teeth. 4. Clean the shafts from which the end gears were removed, and wipe up any old grease splatters in the vicinity and on the inside of the headstock cover. 5. With clean hands, apply a thin layer of grease on the gears. Make sure to get grease between the gear teeth, but not so much that it fills the voids between the teeth. 6. Install the end gears and mesh them together with an approximate backlash of 0.005". Once the gears are meshed together, apply a small dab of grease in the crux of where the gears mesh together—this grease will spread around when the gears start moving and re-coat any areas scraped off during installation. Annual Maintenance Once a year, remove all the end gears, clean them thoroughly, and apply a new coating of grease. Even if the headstock side cover has been kept in place throughout the year, it is still possible for dust from the V-belts to build-up in the grease, and the grease may also start to break down with ...
