Older PCNC1100 - do I need to tear it down to clean it?

[richtes]

2009 Series 2. Bought more for what was with it than the mill itself. The table has chips packed in the slots and when I jogged it didn't hear anything bad. Has the automatic oiler with digital display (and had oil in it).

If this were a Bridgeport I'd already have it apart to clean out the oil channels, but with the power draw bar and the ATC seems like this will end up taking a lot more work, but it's the dirtiest mill I've ever owned.

The answer is probably yes, but I'm not motivated.

Thanks,
Rich

I certainly would tear it down. its not hard, just takes a bit of time.

TORMACH's are pretty easy to assemble/disassemble.
Nothing surprising or too intricate.
Like Spinnetti said: It just takes time.
I think a good tear-down, cleaning, and oiling would do it some good.
