Lubrications; Feed Roller Bushings; Columns And Lead Screws - Craftex CX series User Manual

For long life and trouble-free operation of
your planer it is important to lubricate
some components of the machine.

Feed Roller Bushings

The In-feed and Out-feed rollers rotate
inside bushing blocks on both ends of the
rollers. Lubricate feed roller bushing by
adding 2-3 drops of SAE 30W oil to the
center hole of the four feed roller
adjustment bolts on the top of the head
casting. See Figure-23
Figure-23 Lubrication holes for the feed rollers
Table Height Worm Gear
To lubricate the gear teeth remove the
three cap screws from the worm gear
housing and lift the housing and hand
wheel off the machine. Clean the gear
and then apply a moderate amount of
multi-purpose grease on the gear teeth.

Columns and Lead Screws

The table moves up and down by the
rotation of the Lead screws inside the
columns. Loosen the dust sleeve (CX20)
and apply a thin coat of SAE 30W oil to
the outside surface of the columns and
put a light application of multi-purpose
grease to the lead screws threads. See
