Maintenance Tips
-
Clean bedways, carriage, and tooling after each use to prevent chip buildup
-
Lubricate gears, bearings, and moving parts per manufacturer’s maintenance schedule
-
Inspect belts, gears, and spindle components regularly for wear or misalignment
-
Keep taper attachment surfaces clean and lightly oiled for smooth movement
-
Maintain DRO display and electrical connections clean, dry, and dust-free
-
Verify machine alignment and calibration periodically for precision machining
-
Schedule annual professional servicing to ensure long-term reliability and accuracy
