Lubrication

The bearings on your bandsaw are factory lubricated and sealed. Leave them alone unless they need to be replaced.

If the table becomes difficult to tilt, position it so that you can brush a thin coat of multi-purpose grease on the trunnion sliding surfaces (see Figure 42), then move the table back and forth to distribute.

When needed, brush a light coat of multi-purpose grease on the blade tension leadscrew (see Figure 40).
