Maintenance Schedule
For optimum performance from your taper
attachment, follow the maintenance schedule
below and refer to any specific instructions given
in this section.
Daily
• Check/correct loose mounting fasteners.
• Clean debris and grime from all attachment
surfaces.
• Clean/protect attachment table and dovetail
ways.
• Correct any other unsafe condition.
Monthly
• Disassemble, clean, and lubricate slide block,
pivot pin, and internal ways.
Cleaning & Protecting
Typically, the easiest way to clean debris and
grime from the attachment is to use a wet/dry
shop vacuum that is dedicated for this purpose.
The small chips left over after vacuuming can be
wiped up with a slightly oiled rag. Avoid using
compressed air to blow off chips, as it may drive
them deeper into moving surfaces and could
cause sharp chips to fly into your face or hands.
To keep the unpainted surfaces of the
attachment table and dovetail ways rust-free and
in top condition, apply a thin coat of a quality
way oil after cleaning them.
Lubricating Slide Block, Pivot Pin,
& Internal Ways
1. DISCONNECT LATHE FROM POWER!
2. Referring to the assembly instructions,
remove the attachment body top cover and
the slide block.
3. Clean the slide block, pivot pin, and the
internal ways with mineral spirits and shop
rags.
Important: Make sure the brass plug in the slide
block set screw hole remains in place during
cleaning and lubrication.
4. When dry, apply a thin coat of white lithium
grease to all surfaces of the slide block, pivot
pin, and internal ways of the attachment
body, then re-assemble the parts.
