Proper maintenance of a lathe through lubrication, cleanliness, and adjustment of parts like jibs, wiper pads, and clutches is important to maximize its service life and accuracy. Key maintenance tasks include regularly lubricating moving parts, cleaning away debris weekly, and using jibs to compensate for wear between mating parts. Maintaining cleanliness through regular cleaning is important to reduce friction and wear on a lathe.

2. - Proper care and maintenance are important to
maintain the service life and accuracy of the
lathe.
- Reduce cost of fixing / breakdown / damage.

4. LUBRICATION
- It prolonging the life and accuracy of the lathe.
- Proper care can retains its accuracy for years.
- Always pump the oil at the carriage.

5. CLEANLINESS
- The time spent in keeping a lathe clean is more than
repaid by the added life of the machine.
- Abrasive sludge increases friction and makes the lathe
hard to operate, causing wear between the parts.
Cleaning procedure:
- Shut off switch.
- No compressed air.
- Use paint brush.
- Use clean cloth.
- Remove gum and oil strains once a week.

6. JIBS


What is jibs?
* adjustable part that allow you to eliminate the space that has been
created
by the wear between the slideways. (cross slide, and the compound
slide).
2 types of jibs :
* straight jib.
* tapered jib.
Function?
* produce bearing surface on the slide
* compensate wear between mating parts ( saddle, cross &
compound slide)

7. WIPER PADS
- About wiper pads :
* typically made of felt that will hold oil.
* saturated with oil to catch the fine particles of dirt or debris.
- Function?
* to keep slide ways free from chips or debris.
* to smooth the slide ways with a certain amount of oil.
