Default Jet 16" Bandsaw

The Carter rollers on my saw get pretty gunked and gummed from sawing
green wood - to the point of packing sawdust on the contact surfaces,
resulting in thumping, vibration and noise. Similar to rolling a ball in
the snow to make a snowman.

Have you had any problems in this regard?

My roller guides are from Jet, but probably are similar to the Carter
ones. I've noticed some buildup on the rollers, but so far nothing that
couldn't be wiped off easily. Definitely something to keep an eye on.
