Maintenance and Lub1.Some systems require routine maintenance so the machine stays in working order andoperates safely.2.Lubricants are greases or oils that are used to cool moving parts and minimize frictionand prevent anything from seizing.3.Reservoirs, oil cups, ball oiler4.Belts and gears should be checked for wear and damage periodically.5.A gib is a tapered edge that is used to tighten the slide as the dovetails surface wears.6.Cutting fluids lower the temperature of workpieces and cutting tools and wash chipsaway to prevent buildup on cutting surfaces.7.Oil based and chemical based8.Wetting agents help oil stick to a tool or workpiece.9.Sulfur and chlorine10. Soluble, emulsifiable, water-miscible11. Soluble oils provide higher cooling rates than straight oils because of their watercomponent.12. Synthetic cutting fluid contains no oil products and provides the highest level of coolingof any cutting fluid. Semi-synthetics are a cross between soluble oils and synthetics;they provide better cooling than soluble oils but not pure synthetics.
