General Lubrication
Regular lubrication will ensure your mill performs at its
highest potential. Place two to three drops of a general
machine oil directly on the ways of the cross slide and
saddle. An oil bottle has been provided for this purpose.
Nine ball oilers (Figures 26–28) should be lubricated daily
with several drops of oil.
Protect the unpainted cast iron surfaces with regular
applications of light machine oil, and periodically clean
and lubricate all lead screws with white lithium grease.
