Maintenance Tips

• Clean the table, spoilboard, and entire cutting area after each job to prevent chip buildup and resin contamination.
• Regularly vacuum linear rails, ball screws, and gantry to protect precision motion components from dust and debris.
• Lubricate X/Y/Z ball screws and linear guideways on a scheduled basis to maintain smooth, accurate motion.
• Inspect the 3HP liquid-cooled spindle system; verify coolant level, flow rate, and check for leaks or blockages.
• Clean ER20 collets and tool holders frequently to reduce runout and improve cut quality.
• Resurface the MDF spoilboard periodically to maintain flatness and consistent depth control.
• Verify machine calibration, tool probing, and zero points before every precision or production run.
• Inspect cable chains, wiring, and connectors for wear, dust buildup, or looseness.
• Tighten frame and gantry fasteners regularly to prevent vibration-related accuracy loss.
• Maintain an efficient dust collection system to protect electronics, rails, and spindle components.
• Monitor spindle noise, vibration, and temperature as early indicators of maintenance needs.
• Keep the machine in a dry, temperature-stable environment to reduce corrosion and electrical issues.
