SawStop Cleaning

[Birdhunter]

I watched a video on tuning a SawStop table saw. The woman on the video spent a lot of time cleaning inside the cabinet. So, I am between jobs and needed to clean up my shop.

I opened both access panels and was very surprised how much sawdust was inside. I have a big 2HP dust collector attached to the saw and run a dedicated Festool vac through the overarm so I expected the inside to be a lot cleaner.

I spent about 30 minutes removing the dust from the interior and wiping down the tilt screw. The saw has been perfectly accurate so the saw dust didn’t affect accuracy.

I plan to add cleaning the saw’s interior to my monthly detail cleaning chore.

Dont forget to lube the innards .

When I had a table saw, I used to use a wax like candle wax so the wouldn't stick to it. But there are other things to lube it with.

Interesting.  Please share a link to the video.

Thanks,

This lady has an article in FW on cleaning/maintaining the table saw, but this video is more about tune-up and lubrication:https://www.finewoodworking.com/2018/07/23/ep-2-machine-setup-tablesaw Probably not the one Birdhunter referred to.

For lubrication, instead of 3 in 1 oil as she recommends, I use=26
