Cleaning &
Protecting
Cleaning this lathe is relatively easy. Vacuum
excess wood chips and sawdust, and wipe off the
remaining dust with a dry cloth. If any resin has
built up, use a resin-dissolving cleaner to remove it.
Protect the unpainted cast-iron surfaces by wip-
ing them clean after every use—this ensures
moisture from wood dust does not remain on
bare metal surfaces. Keep surfaces rust-free with
regular applications of products like G96
Treatment, SLIPIT , or Boeshield

Lubrication

All bearings on this lathe are lubricated and
sealed at the factory, and do not need additional
lubrication.
Wipe a lightly oiled shop rag on the outside of the
headstock spindle. DO NOT allow any oil to get on
the inside mating surfaces of the spindle.
Use the tailstock adjustment knob to extend the
quill out to the furthest position and apply a thin
coat of white lithium grease to the outside of the
quill. DO NOT allow any oil or grease to get on the
inside mating surfaces of the quill.
