Hello all. I haven't posted here in a while, been too busy turning. I have a question for the more seasoned woodworking pros regarding cutting green wood on the bandsaw. Lately, I've noticed that when cutting green wood, basically cutting down logs and branches into turning blanks, that the blade wants to gum up and the bearings get coated with a wood/resin residue that hardens and is a pain to get off. This has happened with red oak, live oak, pecan root, and various other green woods I've tried. I have been able to scrape the residue off the bearings by rotating them with a razor blade held against them (not scratching the bearing edge), and similarly with the blade, but this is becoming ridiculous if I can only get a few cuts in before the bearings start squealing like crazy, and I shouldn't have to keep readjusting the bearings to accommodate for the build-up. Lately, I've been wondering if I should replace the bearings with cool blocks, or if that would even matter. For the record, I am using a 14" Powermatic and I do have a dust extractor hooked up to it. I just replaced the blade today and had the same issue cutting the gorgeous pecan root I cut off an uprooted tree (thanks Hurricane Matthew). Would lubricating the blade help? If so, what kind of lubricant?
