Lubrication; Leadscrews; Bedways - Grizzly G0745 Owner's Manual

Lubrication

the lathe has metal-to-metal sliding surfaces that
require regular lubrication to maintain smooth
movement and ensure long-lasting operation.
other than the lubrication points covered in this
section, all other bearings are internally lubricated
and sealed at the factory. simply leave them
alone unless they need to be replaced.
Before performing
disCoNNECt lathE FroM poWEr!
We recommend using Model sB1365 Way oil
(see Accessories on page 30) for most of the
lubrication tasks.
NOTICE
The recommended lubrication is based on
light-to-medium usage. Keeping in mind
that lubrication helps to protect the value
and operation of the lathe, these lubrication
tasks may need to be performed more fre-
quently than recommended here, depend-
ing on usage.
failure to follow reasonable lubrication
practices as instructed in this manual could
lead to premature failure of lathe compo-
nents and will void the warranty.

leadscrew, remove the leadscrew cover, which
is attached with screws. use a stiff brush to help
remove any debris or grime. apply a thin coat
of oil along the length of the leadscrews. use
