Gearbox Oil

Greg Miller <[email protected]>

Hello All,

Santa gave me a new Enco 4x6 Bandsaw for Christmas.  I read all of
the past posts so I was aware of all of the tweaks required to improve
the saw.  I have not checked the the Gearbox for sand yet, but was 
wondering what weight of oil to use if I need to replace the Gearbox 
Oil?

I also cut 1x12 pine boards to fit the inside of the sheet metal 
stand legs and attached the boards to the metal legs with #8 pan head 
screws.  The legs are then bolted through the sheet metal and pine 
boards to the saw bottom.  I don't know how rigid the stand would
have been without the pine boards, but I am pleased with my results.

Thanks for all of the previous posts, they are a great resource!

I topped my reservoir w/30 wt for no really good reason, but in
hindsight I'd probably have been better off draining it and using 80 wt
gear oil.  I've had no problems to date, but then, it's not a
highly-used piece of equipment.

                   Graciously,

The book calls for 140w which is available in any auto parts store.  
Pour it slowly or you'll find it runs out and makes a big mess!
