Table Trunnions

1.DISCONNECT BANDSAW FROM POWER!

2.Wipe the old grease off the bearing surfaces of the table trunnions. Start with the outward side of the table trunnions (Figure 59) when the table is at 0°, then tilt the table to 45° and wipe off the inward side. The old grease will be contaminated with wood or metal dust, so you want to remove as much of it as you can.

3.Use mineral spirits or the degreaser shown in Figure 4 on Page 12 to clean any remain- ing grease from the trunnions. Make sure to thoroughly wipe off the degreaser or mineral spirits after use so they won't contaminate the new grease.

4.Use a small, clean brush to apply automotive- grade multi-purpose grease to the trunnion bearing surfaces. After applying, tilt the table back and forth from 0° to 45° to distribute the grease.

G0640X 17" Wood/Metal Bandsaw

Redressing Rubber

Tires

As the bandsaw ages, the rubber tires on the wheels may need to be redressed if they harden or glaze over. Redressing the rubber tires improves blade tracking and reduces vibration/blade lead.

If the rubber tires become too worn, then blade tracking will become extremely difficult. At that point, redressing will no longer be effective and the rubber tires must be replaced.

To redress the rubber tires:

1.DISCONNECT BANDSAW FROM POWER!

2.Put on heavy leather gloves.

3.Remove the blade.

4.Clean any built-up sawdust from the rubber tires.

5.Hold 100 grit sandpaper against the rub- ber tire and rotate the wheel by hand. Only redress the rubber enough to expose a fresh rubber surface.
