I'm in the process of cleaning out years of sawdust goop clogging an SCM table saw tilt and rise & fall workings (screws and cogs, pivots, contact track/sliding points) plus the open ball bearings on the sliding carriage. I don't know how folk let them get so bad! You'd have to be superman to turn the arbor tilt on this saw!
So...my knowledge doesn't really extend much past a squirt of WD40, a toothbrush scrub and 3in1. I'm never sure if I should be using grease or oil, and if one or the other will attract further dust clogging.
I'd be interested to hear what folk use for:
A) removing the goop (sawdust paste)
B) lubrication for mechanics
C) grease or oil for exposed ball bearings
Apologies if this topic has been raised before, feel free to point
Thanks,
Jim
