I am getting close to having my new shop setup and decided to disassemble my saw to give it a good cleaning before I put it in place and get it tuned. While it is apart I am thinking if there are any modifications that have been done that would be easier now that is is apart. A short list of maintenance and modifications I have come with is below. Any other recommendations?
1. Use some foam tape to give a better seal my pan/lower dust port and the saw.
2. replaced manged fence tape
3. clean/lube gears and guides
4. check riving knife - I think mine is bent
5. Setup some new ZCPs
6. Grind the armature to accommodate an 8" dado set set at 3/4"
7. modify right side panel to allow for easier removal when it comes time to
clean. The easy route it to remove the lip on the plug housing so the
panel can be pulled straight out. The fancy route has a hinged door added.
8. investigate a new handle
9. Add miter slots to left and right of blade
10. "knee bar" to power off saw
Anything else?
