Lubrication

Regular lubrication will ensure your mill/drill per- forms at its highest potential. Regularly wipe all sliding surfaces with Primrose® Way Oil (Page 34) or a light machine oil, then move the components back and forth several times to ensure smooth movements (Figures 44–46). Every six months, or more often with heavy use, clean and lubricate the leadscrews and vertical handwheel ring & pin- ion gears, as outlined on Page 38.

Protect other unpainted cast iron surfaces with regular applications of products like G96® Gun Treatment, SLIPIT®, or Boeshield® T-9.
