Initial Lubrication

This mill has numerous moving metal-to-metal
contacts that require proper lubrication to help
ensure efficient and long-lasting mill operation.
However, some lubrication must be performed
manually. Lubricate the spindle and quill before
proceeding to the Test Run or Spindle Break-In
sections.

NOTICE
Failure to follow reasonable lubrication
practices as outlined in this manual for your
mill could lead to premature failure of your
mill and will void the warranty.
To lubricate the spindle:
1.
Using the coarse downfeed handle, com-
pletely feed out the quill and lock it in position
with the quill lock. Rub the quill down with a
lightly oiled rag.
2.
While holding the coarse downfeed handle,
release the quill lock and return the quill to its
initial position.
3. Add 6 to 10 drops of oil to the spindle lubri-
cation cup and wait 5–10 minutes (see
Figure 19).

Note: The spindle lubrication cup is a gradual
gravity powered system. Extending the quill
at this stage will empty the cup too rapidly to
effectively lubricate the spindle.
