My miter saw swivel table sometimes wants to bind and gall up after heavy use. The swivel table is aluminum on aluminum at the outside circumference and a steel shoulder bolt through aluminum at the center pivot. The galling generally happens between the two outside surfaces. I have tried all kinds of lubes on the outside track even no lube but none seem to work for very long.
What do you folks recommend, if anything?
My saw is a 12" Craftsman #315-212050 (http://www.manualslib.com/manual/476368/Craftsman-315-212050.html). This saw appears to be identical to a DeWALT DW705 with many of the parts being interchangeable, I have a friend that has the DW705 and I can't see any differences other then color.
