Maintenance Tips
-
Clean the lathe bed, carriage, and collet closer after each use to prevent chip buildup.
-
Lubricate spindle bearings, ways, and moving parts to reduce friction and extend service life.
-
Inspect collet closer alignment and tension regularly to ensure precise workholding.
-
Check ACU-RITE 303 DRO display and scales for accuracy and recalibrate if needed.
-
Monitor belts, gears, and leadscrews for wear and adjust tension as required.
-
Tighten gibs and check backlash to maintain rigidity and machining precision.
-
Perform scheduled alignment checks to keep turning accuracy consistent.
