Cleaning & Protecting

Regular cleaning is one of the most important steps in taking care of this lathe. We recommend that the cleaning routine be planned into the workflow schedule, so that adequate time is set aside to do the job right.

Typically, the easiest way to clean swarf from the bed ways and chip drawer is to use a wet/dry shop vacuum that is dedicated for this purpose. The small chips left over after vacuuming can be wiped up with a slightly oiled rag. Avoid using compressed air to blow off chips, as it may drive them deeper into moving surfaces and could cause sharp chips to fly into your face or hands.

Besides the ways, all other unpainted and machined surfaces should be wiped down daily to keep them rust-free and in top condition. This includes any surface that is vulnerable to rust if left unprotected (especially any parts that are exposed to water-soluble coolant). Typically,

a thin ﬁlm of oil is all that is necessary for protection.
