    • Apply new grease across the length of the rail.

    • Work the grease in by moving the carriage back and forth.

    • Remove any excess.

  3. As tool changes are performed friction will cause wear to the mechanism. We have designed the cam shaft to take this wear whilst also making it cheap and easy to replace. The kit comes with 2 pins.
