Tips from our Madison techs
CNC lathe repair tip for Madison shops: set chuck pressure for the part
Thin-wall parts need less, bar stock more. Wrong pressure causes scrap and some crashes.
CNC lathe repair tip for Madison shops: grease the chuck on schedule
Packed chips and dry jaws cause soft clamping long before anything breaks.
CNC lathe repair tip for Madison shops: look at the hydraulic oil weekly
Low, milky or dark oil is the most common reason a turret or chuck acts up.
