Schedule
Cleaning the Model g0694 is relatively easy.
vacuum excess wood chips and sawdust, and
wipe off the remaining dust with a dry cloth. if any
resin has built up, use a resin dissolving cleaner
to remove it. treat all unpainted cast iron and steel
with a non-staining lubricant after cleaning.
cleaning
protect the unpainted cast iron surfaces on the
lathe bed by wiping the bed clean after every
use—this ensures moisture from wood dust does
not remain on bare metal surfaces.
Keep tables rust-free with regular applications of
products like g96
® gun treatment, sLipit ® , or
Boeshield ® t-9.
Lathe Bed
the tapered roller bearings on the g0694 spindle
are pre-lubricated by the factory, but they will
require re-lubrication over time. after the first year
of use, clean and lubricate the spindle bearings,
and thereafter repeat every two years. if the lathe
is to be used daily, clean and re-lubricate bearings
annually. the spindle bearings are located on the
outboard and inboard side of the headstock.
