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. -- ========================================= firstname dot lastname at gmail fullstop com |
