Oil Amount

1 or 2 Squirts/Fill

Lubrication Frequency

Daily

This lathe has seven ball oilers and one oil cup that should be oiled on a daily basis before beginning operation.

Proper lubrication of ball oilers is done with a pump-type oil can that has a plastic or rubberized cone tip. We do not recommend using metal needle or lance tips, as they can push the ball too far into the oiler, break the spring seat, and lodge the ball in the oil galley.

Lubricate the ball oilers before and after machine use, and more frequently under heavy use. When lubricating ball oilers, first clean the outside surface to remove any dust or grime. Push the rubber 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 contaminants coming out of the lubrication area, keep pumping the oil can until the oil runs clear. When finished, wipe away any excess oil.

For the oil cup, lift the lid and fill the cup to the top. The oil will slowly drain into the gearing over time.
