Longitudinal Leadscrew
Oil Type..... Grizzly T23962 or ISO 68 Equivalent
Oil Amount | As Needed |
Lubrication Frequency | Daily |
Before lubricating the leadscrew, clean it first with mineral spirits. A stiff brush works well to help clean out the threads. Make sure to move the carriage out of the way, so you can clean the entire length of the leadscrew.
Apply a thin coat of oil along the length of the leadscrew. Use a stiff brush to make sure the oil is applied evenly and down into the threads.
Note: In some environments, abrasive material can become caught in the leadscrew lubricant and drawn into the half nut. In this case, lubricate the leadscrew with a quality dry lubricant.

This lathe has seven ball oilers and one oil cup that should be oiled on a daily basis before begin- ning operation.
Ball Oilers
Proper lubrication of ball oilers is done with a
Lubricate the ball oilers before and after machine use, and more frequently under heavy use. When lubricating ball oilers, first clean the outside sur- face to remove any dust or grime. Push the rub- ber or plastic tip of the oil can nozzle against the ball oiler to create a hydraulic seal, then pump the oil can once or twice. If you see sludge and con- taminants coming out of the lubrication area, keep pumping the oil can until the oil runs clear. When finished, wipe away any excess oil.
Oil Cup
Lift the oil cup lid and fill the cup to the top. The oil will slowly drain into the gearing over time. Refer to Figures
