Well i started to get a little grinding noise last weekend from the height
adjustment on my TS. I have a grizzly 1023, FYI. So i decided to tear the
saw all apart today. Got the gears all clean and moving nicely. It looks
like what ever was there, just dried up and got hard.
What should i use to relube the gears now?
I was thinking paste wax, but was not sure if that would hold up. I am just
a weekend warroir and use the saw only on the weekends. Also i am in
central TX and it does get hot in my shop in the summer. Very easily could
hit 100 degrees.
thanks in advance, eric

I use hi-temp wheel bearing grease because that is what is in my
grease gun. Seems to work fine and doesn't hold a lot of dust or
shavings.

Coupla years ago, somebody posted a formula here using graphite in either
beeswax or paste wax, I can't recall. Do a Google Groups search and you might
turn it up.
