Other than keeping it clean of sawdust and not letting
it build up on the rails, etc. The machine requires no
scheduled maintenance. All the bearings are sealed
and lubricated. The few bushings it uses are oil-lite
bronze and require no lubrication. We designed it with
as few moving parts as possible and every component
was selected with long service life and low
maintenance operation in mind. The timing belts are
very high quality steel lined poly. We have one older
CNC machine in our shop with just neoprene glass
lined belts that are 30 years old, still working fine and
was the inspiration for this machine design. All the
timing pulleys are high quality machined aluminum,
again, requiring no maintenance.
Vacuum foot sold with both machines
can make keeping clean a lot easier.
