Ball fittings, shown in Figure 82, are responsible
for the majority of the machine lubrication. To
lubricate ball fittings, clean the outside of the ball
fitting, depress the ball with the tip of the oil can
nozzle and squirt a little oil inside the fitting.
To lubricate the following areas every day:
1. Wipe off the oil port before and after oiling to
keep out contaminants.
2. Oil the areas daily shown by arrows in
Figure 82, with one to two shots of SAE 20W
non-detergent oil or equivalent. Some areas
may require fewer or more shots depending
on use. These areas include:
• Cross Slide
• Compound Rest
• Carriage
• Tailstock
• Lead Screw and Feed Rod
• Cross Feed Handwheel
