Schedule
Metal chips left on the machine that have been
soaked with water-based coolant will invite oxida-
tion and a gummy residue build-up around the
moving parts. use a brush and shop vacuum to
remove chips and debris from the working sur-
faces of the mill. never blow the mill off with com-
pressed air, as this will force metal chips deep into
the mechanisms.
remove any rust build-up from unpainted cast
iron surfaces of your mill and treat with a non-
staining lubricant after cleaning.
Keep unpainted cast iron surfaces rust-free with
regular applications of products like g96
® gun
treatment, sLipit ® , or Boeshield ® t-9.
