Maintenance Tips
  • Keep the lathe bed, taper attachment, and carriage clean by brushing away chips after every use.

  • Lubricate leadscrews, spindle bearings, and sliding ways to minimize wear and ensure smooth cutting.

  • Check DRO display accuracy regularly to maintain precision on complex turning operations.

  • Inspect belts, gears, and electrical components for signs of wear or misalignment.

  • Tighten gibs and adjust backlash periodically to maintain rigidity and machining accuracy.

  • Schedule routine calibration and alignment for long-term performance and reliability.
