Spindle Bearing Lubrication
(Figure 22)
Bearing Lubrication
Ports
Spindle Housing
Figure 22 – Spindle Bearing Lubrication
Main spindle bearing lubrication ports are located on top
and at each end of the spindle housing.
Bearings are oil impregnated when manufactured and
will serve to lubricate spindle until scheduled mainte-
nance is performed.
Lubrication with 10 drops of SAE 20 Weight Nondetergent
oil is recommended every six months (more often under
heavy machine usage).
Front Jaw Insert and Centering Finger
Replacement
1. Run machine in the OPEN position to open jaws.
2. With machine OFF and unplugged, remove front
cover.
3. Loosen screw that holds jaw insert and centering
finger in place. This should allow jaw insert to separate
from jaw assembly. (Figures 23A & B)
4. On a workbench, drive out top pins holding centering
finger in place and install new centering finger.
NOTE! When driving pin out on workbench, do not bend
centering finger.
