Cleaning &
Protecting
The easiest way to clean swarf from the ways
and table is to use a wet/dry shop vacuum that
is dedicated for this purpose. The small chips
left over after vacuuming can be wiped up with
a lightly-oiled rag. Avoid using compressed air to
blow off chips, as it may drive them deeper into
moving surfaces and could cause sharp chips to
fly into your face or hands.
All unpainted and machined surfaces should be
wiped down daily with a good quality way oil, such
as shown in Figure 34 on the previous page, to
keep them rust-free and in top condition.
Lubrication
The Model G0727 has numerous moving metal-
to-metal surfaces that must be properly lubri-
cated to help ensure efficient and long-lasting mill
operation.
Ways
Oil Type ...... Grizzly H8257 or Quality Equivalent
Oil Amount ......................................... As Needed
Lubrication Frequency ..............Before Operation
Move the sliding components to gain access to the
full length of the ways and make sure they are free
from chips and grime. Use a shop rag to apply a
thin coat of way oil to the entire way surface, then
move the sliding component a few times through
its full length of travel to evenly distribute the oil.
