'''Oiling is critical to keeping the 3-in-1 in a good condition.''' The machine must be oiled before and after every use. The slideways should be oiled with slideway oil, and all other parts should be oiled with general-purpose machine oil.  See the full manual for further details: [[File:Centurion_Instruction_Manual.pdf]]

=== Updates ===
* 10-JUL-2014 (James): I spent a fair chunk of time making a new micro switch aluminium shaft & chuck guard for the 3 in 1. Now it lets you open the chuck jaws to their full potential with ample clearance from the edge of the Perspex. I designed it so it stays horizontal relative to the chuck and will not operate if the chuck key is located in the chuck.
