Trent, add this note we deleted yesterday here with step 9. “Note: The maximum oil flow rate (at step 3 RPM) to the rear bearing (in line #3), should not exceed 330 ml/min. Also, the combined flow (in lines #7 and #8) to the front bearing should not exceed 450 ml/min.”

Trent, I think that there should be a note between step 5 and 6 that states, Steps 6 through 13 are examples of temp measurements for all of the lathes covered by this procedure. They also contain oil line lengths and desired flow rates as well, or something to that effect.

Change the sentence “Measure the amount of oil that flows into the cup in about 15 seconds, then multiply the results x4.” to “Measure the amount of oil that flows into the cup in 15 seconds, then multiply the results x4. “

Remove: “Note: The maximum oil flow rate (at step 3 RPM) to the rear bearing (in line #3), should not exceed 330 ml/min. Also, the combined flow (in lines #7 and #8) to the front bearing should not exceed 450 ml/min.”

Change “The front bearing should receive around 120 ml/min from the top line #7, and around 270 ml/min from the side line #8. The rear bearing should receive around 280 ml/min from line #3. Sample data shown is from 1845 RX.” to “See tables for your machine type to determine the correct oil flow for the line that is being measured.”

Change “a measuring cup (with milliliters graduation and around 125 ml capacity),” to “ a measuring cup (with milliliters graduation and around 500 ml capacity),” 125 milliliter capacity isn’t enough for a 30120.

In the sentence “TRAK 1845 Lathe Oil Specifications to use as an example of what readings to expect.” should read “TRAK 1845 Lathe Oil Specifications to use as an example of what readings to expect from an 1845.”

Remove (use under 140 degrees F) in the sentence that reads “Once the temperatures stabilize at the last testing step (use under 140 degrees F), the spindle bearing run–in process is complete. “

The sentence that reads “If the temperatures does not stabilize, or at any time reach ~140° F,…” should read “If the temperature does not stabilize, or if at any time reaches ~140° F,…”
