Lubrication Systems for Deep Hole Drilling Machines
Deep hole drilling machines need lubrication for the bed ways, ball screws, guide bushings, and spindle bearings. I have worked on machines where poor lubrication caused thousands of dollars in way damage, and I have also seen well-maintained machines hold their original alignment for over a decade. The difference comes down to having the right lubrication system and following a consistent schedule. A deep hole drilling machine faces higher coolant exposure and more abrasive conditions than a standard CNC, so the lubrication demands are more rigorous. ...
