Hello Gurus,
Bought my BT3100 a few years ago on Craigslist and did a flooring project. Shortly after that I had a neck injury which prevented me from doing any woodworking. The saw had been sitting idle in a corner for all these years. A year ago, I tried to do a project and noticed the blade raising mechanism isn't working so it went back into oblivion.
In the meantime I discovered this forum.
Tomorrow is a big day when I am planning to get the saw out and open it completely. Hopefully, it is just all the fine dust from the flooring project collected everywhere in the saw. Of course, I have read enough on this forum to know about the dreaded shims. I am hoping mine is not a shim problem
I will follow some of the tips like lubricating with graphite, alignments and drawing the red line.
I hope to get into the world of some serious woodworking. Wish me luck and please chime in your suggestions. Looking for any good advice.

PS - I plan to completely dismantle and reassemble the saw - does anyone this it is not a good idea after all? Thanks ....
