    Great video Russ! Thank you for the reminder that I need to get on my machine and give it good wipe down and lube!

      Lol! At minimum I blow mine off with an air line before each use. The service I demonstrated in the video, I do quarterly.

    Well done. Made me think about the last time I did any real maintenance. Thank you for the reminder

      Thanks Rob! I think too many of us overlook maintenance.

    After how many hours of run time do you do a cleaning/service like this? Great video, thanks!

      Difficult to say! I’ve never tracked the hours between cleanings. I suppose I should. I mostly go by how everything looks.

    Thanks, Russ! Great content as always. How do you maintain the rack and pinion and related parts?

      Thank you! I really don’t worry too much about the gear track. Use an airline with a fine bristle tooth brush. Don’t put lubricant on it.

    I like that black hose connection unit where do I get one?

    How’d you decide on your channel name ‘Blue Line?’

    Isn't all that black stuff from the rails just grease? Also why lubing the rails if you also use grease? Not hating just asking thanks

      My grease is green out of the tube, so black indicates to me it’s dirty. By applying a very thin layer of 3 in 1, you are only ensuring the roller bearings run smooth. Necessary? Probably not but a little extra insurance goes a long way!

    My machine when homing goes to the front right corner do u know how I can switch that to the front left corner?

      You didn’t mention what CNC you own. Check your owner’s manual. You should find instructions to change your home position.
