Default Bandsaw, lower bearing guides


My new Jet has ball bearing guides. Stacked bearings, which is nice so I can
narrow them when I have to; very nifty mechanism: the bearings are riding on an
excenter that you can rotate and lock in place to effect adjustment, nothing
could be easier.

Except, well, the lower bearings pick up sawdust, don't they. Upon which they
start howling uproriously. At that point I can usually not be bothered to go
clean them so I just back them off a bit, but that's not really what I want to
do, is it? I do not have them as tight as a ciggy paper sized gap in the first
place.

Anything I could do easily? Would a couple of toothbrushes mounted to clean the
bearings work in your opinion?

-P.
