Re: Sliding Table Saw Shutting Itself Off
|
I wouldn't use the Ballistol, a bunch of us tried it when we found out Felder suggested it and I know my results were terrible. Best solution for me is a paper towel with mineral spirits on it and wipe the races with the table all the way at each extremity. Do it several times until the paper towels come out clean and then just dry with a clean paper towel and you are good to go.

Thanks for the heads up on that Mariusz, I ended up just using a vacuum and rag anyways. And yes, we can get Ballistol here in the States.
I got everything cleaned up, but that didn't fully solve the problem. I discovered that the blade was only shutting down when the carriage was out at full extension before making a cut. By "choking up" a bit, I was able to get back to work. I moved the crosscut fence and outrigger about 16" in from the end of the table, so I didn't have to pull the table to full extension. Not a problem for this project, I'm only cutting 4' lengths. But I suspect something is out of alignment with the table, so at some point when I have a break in the action I'll loosen the bolts and go through the leveling and alignment process again and see if that takes care of it. I'm betting it has to do with the electrical connection running through the rails to the secondary on/off switch being interrupted.
