Lubrication

Other than the lubrication points covered in this section, all other bearings are internally lubricated and sealed at the factory. Simply leave them alone unless they need to be replaced.

One-Shot Oiler

Type	Model T23963 or ISO 32 Equivalent
Amount		1–2 Pumps
Lubrication Frequency		4–8 Hrs. of Operation

The one-shot oiler provides lubrication to the vertical leadscrew, the cross feed ways, and the cross feed leadscrew.

To use the one-shot oiler, pull the pump handle out (see Figure 45) and push it back in with mod- erate force. Move the grinding head up and down a few times through the full Z-axis path to distrib- ute the oil on the leadscrew. Do the same with the Y-axis handwheel.

Oil Sump

As the one-shot oiler sends oil to the cross feed ways, any excess oil will exit tubes in the rear and drain into a sump in the column. Check and drain the sump at least once a month to avoid overflow.

To drain the oil sump, use a 10mm hex wrench to remove the drain plug on the rear of the column (see Figure 46).

Wipe up any spilled oil from the machine and floor before continuing operation.

Spilled oil left on the floor can become a slipping hazard. Always clean up spilled oil promptly.
