Have a 70's model Craftsman table saw. The trunnion that elevates and lowers the blade assembly is becoming more and more difficult to use. Tried cleaning and lubing from the back side with no luck. It appears that the tabletop is held in place by 4 bolts from the blade assembly into the top. So if I remove them, the top lifts off and I can easily clean and lube the trunnion.
However, the alternative is that the bolts hold up the blade assembly and something else holds the top firmly to the cabinet.
Before I start wrenching away, does anyone know for sure how the top comes off? Thanks in advance.
