By the very design of a lathe, the small (and large) chips created land on the ways right in front of the carriage. These chips are then run over as the carriage moves along the ways, scratching the ground surfaces of the carriage and the ways, increasing wear on the components.
The Way Wiper Kit addresses the problem of dropping chips onto the bed ways. It attaches to the carriage using two Neodymium magnets and it holds in place two felt pads that are in contact with the ways. As the carriage moves, the felt pads pick up and sweep away the swarf that lands on the ways, preventing the damaging effects seen over time. In addition, soaking the pads in oil (or your bed way lubricant of choice) lubricates the bed ways as the carriage travels, providing a clean and freshly lubricated surface with each movement. The only maintenance required is to brush off the pads every few uses. The replacement of the pads requires no tools (unlike some that are bolted to the carriage) and is done by simply pulling the wiper housing from the carriage and removing/replacing the pad with a fresh one.
The Way Wiper Kit for mini lathes should fit all 7x10, 7x12 and 7x14 lathes from Harbor Freight, Grizzly, Homier, etc. and will include the following items:
2 Wiper Housings – 1 left side, 1 right side (3D printed* in silver ABS plastic with Neodymium magnets installed).
6 Felt Pads (3 of each style, die cut).
*Note: The 3D printing technology used is FDM, which means the part is printed layer by layer. These layers are visible and should be expected. The part will be visibly different than a standard injection molded part or a cast part.
