Unpainted Cast Iron

Protect the unpainted cast iron surfaces on the table by removing vises and fixtures daily and by wiping the table clean after every use.

Keep tables rust-free with regular applications of products like G96® Gun Treatment or Boeshield® T-9. See below for Grizzly model numbers:

Lubrication

The quill and table use a rack and pinion assem- bly for movement. To ensure a smooth operation and a long life of these rack and pinion systems, lubricate as needed depending upon use.

Brush a small amount of multi-purpose grease on the rack near the pinion (see Figure 28 & 29). Move the table or quill up and down to distribute the grease.

Note: All other bearings are lubricated and sealed at the factory, and do not need further lubrica- tion.
