The all come with oil. If yours didn't came with oil the shipping guy is getting his ass kicked by me 😁. Just get in touch with Kayleigh at [email protected] and we'll put one in the mail for you.

Yes the Slider is self lubricating meaning that it has PTFE in its composition and it won't wear off as quickly as regular Delrin. The Edge's slider will requires less lubrication than regular Delrin sliders as lubricant oil and PTFE from slider will create a much more slippery surface.

Picture a slider as a linear bearing. All bearings require some time of lubrication. For optimal performance.

To lubricate the machine is super easy. Put one drop on each side of the slider and the back, right in between the part that houses the slider. On the Edge X you can simply apply two to three drops right around the GiveKnob area.

Another effective way to lube up the slider is by the vise area. Remove chuck and floating collet, push slider forward and lube the slider through the vise. Apply one drop of oil in each of the three slots you will see on the slider right around the DrivePin.

Voila

Run the machine at 15 volts for about 8 seconds after applying the drops.

Lubrication videos will be available soon as well as online manual.
