LUBRICATION

Keep a constant check on the level o f the o i l reservoir. Lubrication should be

accomplished as operating use demands. Every four to five months, or as required,
the table should be removed and the ways and rollers cleaned w i t h a solvent.
Then use a clean oily cloth on the rollers and ways to leave a film o f o i l which
is all that is necessary.

Industry is finding all manner of usesforthese unique REID machines

which can make repeat cuts and grinds automatically with electronically controlled accuracy. The 612-SG and DG were developed
especially for consistently accurate slicing and dicing of valuable
germanium and silicon wafers used by the semi-conductor industry.
These versatile REID machines can perforin close tolerance broach,
step, and serration grinding automatically with the same repeat
accuracy-making them ideal for precision grinding on a form or
production basis.
