Bedways
Oil Type ................ T23962 or ISO 68 Equivalent
Oil Amount ......................................... As Needed
Lubrication Frequency ................................. Daily
Before lubricating the bedways (see Figure 95),
clean them with mineral spirits. Apply a thin coat
of oil along the length of the bedway. Move the
steady rest, carriage, and tailstock to access the
entire length of the bedways. If the lathe is in a
moist or dirty environment, increase the lubrica-
tion frequency.

Longitudinal Leadscrew
Oil Type .... Grizzly T23962 or ISO 68 Equivalent
Oil Amount ......................................... As Needed
Lubrication Frequency ................................. Daily
Before lubricating the leadscrew (see Figure 98
on Page 63), clean it first with mineral spirits.
A stiff brush works well to help clean out the
threads. Make sure to move the carriage out of
the way, so you can clean the entire length of the
leadscrew.
Apply a thin coat of oil along the length of the
leadscrew. Use a stiff brush to make sure the oil
is applied evenly and down into the threads.
Note: In some environments, abrasive material
can become caught in the leadscrew lubricant and
drawn into the half nut. In this case, lubricate the
leadscrew with a quality dry lubricant.

Ball Oilers
Oil Type .... Grizzly T23963 or ISO 32 Equivalent
Oil Amount ......................................1 or 2 Squirts
Lubrication Frequency ................................. Daily
This lathe has 16 ball oilers that should be oiled
on a daily basis before beginning operation. Refer
to Figures 96–99 for their locations.
Ball Oilers
Proper lubrication of ball oilers is done with a
pump-type oil can that has a plastic or rubber-
ized 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.
Lubricate the ball oilers before and after machine
use, and more frequently under heavy use. When
lubricating ball oilers, first clean the outside sur-
face to remove any dust or grime. Push the rub-
ber or plastic tip of the oil can nozzle against the
ball oiler to create a hydraulic seal, then pump the
oil can once or twice. If you see sludge and con-
taminants coming out of the lubrication area, keep
pumping the oil can until the oil runs clear. When
finished, wipe away any excess oil.
