M1036 Micro Mill

Lubrication

Regular lubrication will ensure your mill performs at its highest potential.

Place two to three drops of ISO 68 or SAE 20W non-deter- gent oil or similar lubricant directly on the following areas each time you use your mill (see Figure 26):

•Cross slide and saddle ways

•Quill shaft

Apply a light weight lithium based grease directly to these points once a month or more frequently as needed:

•Longitudinal leadscrew (Figure 27)

•Crossfeed leadscrew (Figure 28)

Note: Pry up the leadscrew cover to access the crossfeed leadscrew.

NOTICE

Lack of lubrication causes poor machine perfor- mance. Keep your mill lubricated to reduce wear on parts and discourage oxidation.
