M1036 Micro Mill
MAINTENANCE
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.
Lubrication

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