Regular lubrication will ensure your mill performs at its
highest potential.
Place two to three drops of ISO 68 or SAE 20W non-deter-
gent oil or similar lubricant directly on the following
areas each time you use your mill (see Figure 26):
• Cross slide and saddle ways
• Quill shaft
Apply a light weight lithium based grease directly to
these points once a month or more frequently as needed:
• Longitudinal leadscrew ( Figure 27)
• Crossfeed leadscrew ( Figure 28)
Note: Pry up the leadscrew cover to access the crossfeed
leadscrew.

Lack of lubrication causes poor machine perfor-
mance. Keep your mill lubricated to reduce wear on
parts and discourage oxidation.
