Servicing Our Lathe for the FIRST TIME! | Workshop Machinery

This is the very first time in 6 years that we are doing a major service on our “frontline” lathe. We have been noticing a noise coming out of the back of the headstock so we’re going to open it up and see what we find! This is a Taiwanese built MetalMaster TM-26120G Centre Lathe that we purchased from Hare & Forbes Machinery House, it is very good quality and we’ve not had any problems with it but thought it was time to do some maintenance. We show the process of how to change out all the V-belts, adjust the brake and replace the oil in the headstock and feed box. We also do some preventative maintenance by cleaning the bed, topping up the oil in the ball oilers, topping up the coolant and checking the level of the lathe. This lathe is a Hafco TM-26120G Centre Lathe from Hare & Forbes MachineryHouse @Machineryhouse1930 Join our channel: We upload new videos every Friday at 5pm AEST!
