Lubrication
Vise Guide Rods
The tube vise moves side-to-side and front-to-
back on four guide rods (see Figure 43).
Figure 43. Locations of vise guide rods.
Move the vise as necessary to access the full
length of the guide rods and clean any debris from
their surfaces with shop rags and mineral spirits.
When dry, wipe guide rods with light machine oil
using a clean shop rag.
Leadscrews
The vise has two leadscrews (see Figure 44).
Move the vise as necessary through the full length
of the leadscrews and clean any debris from the
threads with a stiff brush and mineral spirits.
When dry, apply a thin coat of light machine oil
and work the lubricant into the threads with a
clean, stiff brush. Wipe away any excess oil. Move
the vise through the full length of each leadscrew
to distribute the oil.
