Summary:
This video is about how to maintain a table saw. Here are the key points:
It is important to clean out the sawdust in the base of the table saw regularly. Sawdust buildup can impair the dust collection system, gum up the workings of the mechanism, and create a fire hazard.
You can use a nylon or brass bristle brush to clean the sawdust off the worm and worm gear. You can also apply a light amount of dry lubricant.
It is also a good idea to clean the top of the saw with a Scotch Brite pad and apply a coat of paste wax. This will help to protect the saw from rust and provide a lubricated surface for the wood to slide on.
To ensure the accuracy of your saw, you can use a calibrating disc to set the blade to 90 degrees to the surface of the table saw and parallel to the miter gauge slots. You can also use a straight edge and a framing square to check the alignment of the blade.
Finally, make sure that the fence is parallel to the miter slots by adjusting the set screws on the t-head of the fence.
