Good Evening....
Recently purchased a used 1995 BT3000 off of CL for a cheap price. The machine runs great with the exception of the blade lift mechanism.
My question to the group is this saw was used on the jobsite and has paint splatters over the tray tops, rails and rip fence. There is also some minor rust to the exterior housing, but I believe that is just cosmetic.
Does anyone have a suggestion for cleaning up this machine, removing the paint and trying to get it back to a near new appearance? Is that even possible?
As to the blade mechanism....it is really stiff. I plan to take this apart tomorrow and would appreciate any advise in cleaning, lubing, etc for a smooth raise and lower function.
Thanks is advance to all.
