Motor - The bearings used in the motor are shielded and lubricated for life.

Ways, Slides - Apply oil to the ways and slides after each use. Wipe the ways with a clean rag prior to lubrication to ensure that no grime is car- ried along with your lubricant into friction-sensi- tive areas. Applying oil to the bedways and other bare metal parts also protect the lathe from rust and pitting.

Lead Screw - Be sure to lubricate the leadscrew and the leadscrew bearing at the tailstock end of the lathe. Figure 39.

Tailstock - The tailstock is fitted with one oiling point. Apply oil each week, or after every five uses (depending on the frequency of operation).
