Re: pcnc 1100 needs cleaned
any brand way lube oil will do. In a pinch you can use hydraulic oil which works fine with no ill effects , just be sure to give a shot a bit more often
wd40 makes a concentrated degreaser soap which in my opinion is a must have . It's great for cleaning the machine and surrounding areas including the concrete floor . It's safe for most stuff including aluminum . Yesterday I did maintenance to 2 of my mills and I gave them their first bath in 4 yrs . They've had heavy use and were pretty crusty from coolant and chips , full concentrate cut through the grime in seconds , but normally it can be well diluted . Simple green is ok but not nearly as good .
Dollar store is great for buying brushes for sweeping chips off the table etc , air blast works better but also sends chips flying everywhere .
Re: pcnc 1100 needs cleaned
I use Mobil Vactra #2 way oil on my 1100 since 2007. I always lubricate the Z-axis ball screws and ways by hand by lowering the z-axis all the way to the mill table.
