Servicing a Centre Lathe

This video shows the process followed in servicing a centre lathe with a geared head stock. The lathe used is the Australian Hare and Forbes HAFCO AL-336, which is in fact a rebadged unit from China. This lathe is sold worldwide under a variety of brand names.

The lathe has a geared headstock, quick change gearbox and geared apron all of which run in oil. The video covers changing the oil in these three gearboxes as well as the lubrication of the lathe in general.
