The oil level in the headstock must not be below the oil mark. Otherwise, the oil pump may suck in air, or the gear mist may be insufficient, causing spindle vibrations, excessive heating of the friction clutch and rolling bearings, and other issues. According to the lathe manual, all lubrication system oiling points must be…
Proximity of frequently used items: All items used during work should be placed as close as possible and concentrated around the operator’s area, but without hindering free movement. Frequency of use: Commonly used items should be placed closer, while rarely used items should be placed farther away. Natural movement: The placement of items must conform…
