Cleaning Sawstop Table Saw Internal Parts: How to?

Does anyone have experience cleaning gear parts. The wheel for lifting saw blade up and down is becoming stiff. Where should I lubricate or blow dust from? Thanks. Barry

Are you talking about our SawStop here at MakerSpace?

The last major cleaning I know about was last January. You can find details here:

Here’s what was replaced:

All moving mechanisms were well greased.

I refer to my own Sawstop table saw. Thanks for your reply

Luke - I am not able to access your reply (do my privileges need to be upgraded?) but thanks, anyway. I vacuumed plenty of dust and cleaned the gears with WD-40. Then I applied Slipit paste sliding lubricant. As soon as I can I’m going to apply some Dry-slid or maybe some li-greese spray. So far, I think I’ve cleaned it properly. Thanks.

Not sure which model you have but your manual will show the lubrication points.

Kind of, sort of related but for others looking at purchasing a Sawstop for home they are increasing the cost Feb 1st.
