Schedule
For optimum performance from your cross-slide
rotary table, follow this maintenance schedule
and refer to any specific instructions given in this
section.
Daily/Before Use:
•
Clean and lubricate the ball oilers.
•
Dress the machined surfaces.
•
Check/resolve any unsafe condition.
Monthly:
•
Clean
and

Cleaning &
Protecting
It is essential that the rotary table be cleaned
after every use, and the surfaces oiled with a light
machine oil to prevent corrosion.
DO NOT use compressed air to clean your
rotary table. Chips or debris may become lodged
between the moving parts, reducing the life and
accuracy of the device. Instead, use a stiff-bristled
brush to remove the chips and swarf, then wipe
down the surfaces with a clean shop rag.

There are two ball oilers that should be oiled on a
daily basis, or before beginning operation. Refer
to Figure 31 for their locations.
Ball Oiler
Locations
Figure 31. Location of ball oilers.
Lubricate the ball oilers with a pump-type can that
has a plastic or rubberized cone tip. We do not
recommend using metal needle or lance tips, as
they can push the ball too far into the oiler, break
the spring seat, and lodge the ball in the oil galley.
Clean the ball oiler before lubricating. Push the tip
of the oil can nozzle against the ball oiler to cre-
ate a hydraulic seal, then pump the oil can once
or twice. If sludge and contaminants come out,
pump the oil can until the oil runs clear. When
finished, wipe off excess oil.
