Cleaning
Use a shop vacuum to remove debris from the

ing parts of the belt tension lever and vise. Open
the belt and deburring station covers, remove the
abrasive belt, and vacuum all debris from inside
machine, rollers, and deburring platen.
Metal debris from flying sparks left on the floor
presents a slipping hazard. Vacuum the area
around the machine on a daily basis.
Wipe the profile rollers clean with shop rags and
mineral spirits. When dry, apply a light coat of rust
preventative.

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 with a clean shop rag damp with
light machine oil.
Leadscrews
The vise has two leadscrews (see Figure 38).
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.
