Picked up an older Rockwell/Delta contractor's saw this week off of C.L. Wow! That thing is heavy. It had the original Biesmeyer 52 inch fence with white iron on it, a custom made (welded) mobile base with table support, and a Brett guard (?). I'm also the one who picked up the Grizzly 1021 15 inch planer in the same $500 sale. Both tools appeared to be well taken care of, seller said they were his dad's tools. Do I get to legitimately gloat over this? Been looking for a used saw and it fit the bill.
The saw arbor has no looseness but it does feel like it's dry. What lubricant would you recommend dribbling down into it while I have it apart? And would a white lubricant be okay for the worm adjustments? Any other lubricant recommendations? I have most of the good high tech silicones and teflons in spray or tube.
