Rust.
The bandsaw is made from steel and cast iron. All non-painted surfaces will rust if not
protected. It is recommended that the table be protected by coating with wax if the machine is
not in constant use. All moving non-painted surfaces (guides, rack and pinion, etc.) should be
lubricated/protected with a Teflon-based lubricant.
Blade guide rack and pinion.
The top guide when moved vertically tracks the blade and comes factory-set. Adjustment
is provided should that mechanism become misaligned. This is a tricky operation and
should only be attempted if an extreme error has
occurred.
