Maintenance Tips
-
Clean After Every Use: Rinse and wipe the machine bed, diamond wheels, water nozzles, and splash guard to remove slurry, grit, and debris that can hinder performance and wear components prematurely.
-
Inspect Diamond Wheels: Check wheel condition before each session and dress or replace wheels showing wear, chipping, or glazing to maintain smooth, accurate profiles.
-
Maintain Water Cooling: Ensure water pumps, hoses, and nozzles are free of blockages and flowing properly — consistent cooling prevents overheating and extends wheel life.
-
Check Belts & Fasteners: Inspect drive belts, pulleys, and all fasteners regularly; tighten loose hardware and replace worn belts to prevent vibration and uneven cutting.
-
Level & Align: Verify table, guides, and heads are properly aligned and level to ensure accurate bullnose and bevel profiles.
-
Store Dry & Protected: Keep the machine in a dry, covered area when not in use to prevent corrosion and protect electrical components.
