Maintenance on BF6-31 - how to clean and lubricate saw rise/fall

Davide All Messages By This Member #134843 Hello everyone, the saw rise/fall on my BF6-31 has become stiffer over time, and could really use some cleaning and fresh grease, but I am struggling to reach the rack and pinion in order to clean it. Does anyone have any suggestions of how I could get better access to it, is there a panel that can be removed in order to access it better? I can manage to reach the saw tilt by sliding the cover across below the sliding table, but the rise/fall is really hard to reach. Thanks in advance Davide

Davide All Messages By This Member #134899 I managed to clean it eventually - compressed air helped a lot - in case it's useful to someone else, with the saw lowered remove the saw blade and clean as much as you can using tissues and a long reach brush - I used one of those made to reach inside bottles. Then fully raise the saw and clean from below. Lubricate and move up and down a couple of times to spread the lubricant. It's not quite butter but much better than it was!
