LubricationQuill

DO NOT make adjustments while the Mill/Drill is running. Ensure that the switch is off, power is disconnected and moving parts have stopped before making adjust- ments.

Points requiring periodic lubrication are:

1.The main column. A light film of oil will smooth action and prevent rust and corro- sion.

2.The quill. A light coating of oil will ensure smooth movement.

3.The quill return spring. Oil annually with a light lubricant (SAE 20). Apply with a brush or squirt can.

4.The quill pinion. Lubricate every 90 days with non-hardening grease.

5.The table leadscrews. Lubricate once each week with several drops of SAE 20.

6.The table leadscrew bearings. Lubricate the bearings located at the ends of the table and just in front of the Y axis hand crank on a daily basis. You will find oil ports with a ball. Apply a small amount of SAE 20 using the oil can’s tip to push in the ball.

7.The table and apron slides. Lubricate the table slides daily. An oil port with a ball is located on the operators side of the table edge. The apron slide can be oiled directly.

Make sure to carefully clean chips and dirt off of this slide before oiling.

The internal quill pin is a setscrew and has been pre-adjusted at the factory. It should not need adjustment under normal circum- stances.

The slotted setscrew on the left side of the head is used for limiting the amount of rotational play in the quill body. Loosening the check-nut and tightening the setscrew will work to eliminate this play in the quill.

If you are worried that you might have excessive quill play, spindle looseness or if an accident has occurred that requires this setscrew’s readjustment, contact the Service Department for advice.

V-Belts

Inspect regularly for tension and wear. Replace when necessary with a size B-42 belt for the spindle pulley to the idler pulley belt and a size B-34 belt from the idler pulley to the motor pulley belt. Check pulleys to ensure that they are properly aligned.
