I'm looking for anyone that has completed the general maintenance (recommended every 1000 hours) on their own. Required tools, lubricants, etc. I'd like to sidestep sending the unit into Big Kaiser if possible. Any information is appreciated.

Ordered a few collet from local dealer but had to call the original manufacturer Kaiser purchased rights from to get part number. They do the repairs rebuilds too.

Love mine. Knocked 6 days off a production run I do 3 times a year. I uh... DO NOT LET IT TOOL CHANGE anymore EVER. It missed locking itself somehow (after hundreds of successful changes) and damaged its taper and the machine taper. It wasn't major and I was able to remove the high spots but not worth the risk.

Primarily I run a 1/8" 2 flt em with 3/4 LOC 1.075" stick out cutting 0.625 x 0.15 wide slots 1 inch deep in AL (top 0.3 is 0.155). Runs 18 hours a day for 9 days at a time without issue.
