Cleaning

Make sure to unplug the lathe/mill before clean-
ing it. Clean your machine every day or more
often as needed. Remove chips as they accumu-
late. Chips left on the machine soaked with water
based coolant will eventually invite oxidation
and gummy residue to build up around moving
parts. Cleaning will help keep your lathe running
smoothly. Always be safe and responsible with
the use and disposal of cleaning products.

Unpainted Cast Iron

Protect the unpainted cast iron surfaces on the
table by wiping the table clean after every use.
Keep tables rust-free with regular applications of
