Maintenance Tips

• Clean the table, linear guideways, and work area after each use to prevent dust and chip buildup.
• Inspect and lubricate precision ball screws and guide rails according to the manufacturer's schedule.
• Keep the liquid-cooled 3HP spindle cooling system clean and verify coolant levels regularly.
• Surface the MDF spoilboard as needed to maintain a flat, accurate cutting surface.
• Check collets, tool holders, and cutting bits for wear; replace damaged components immediately.
• Verify spindle alignment, tool touch-off calibration, and machine zero points for consistent accuracy.
• Inspect cable tracks, connectors, and proximity sensors for damage or debris.
• Tighten accessible fasteners and inspect the steel frame and gantry for vibration-related loosening.
• Maintain proper dust collection to protect moving components and extend machine life.
• Store the DSP controller in a clean, dry environment and back up machine settings periodically.
• Monitor spindle cooling, unusual noises, and vibration during operation to identify issues early.
• Keep the machine in a temperature-controlled, low-humidity workspace to reduce corrosion and improve precision.
