Annual Reminder

[DJ Delorie]

With the turning of the calendar, I remind myself that once a year I should clean and tune my tools (table saw, jointer, planer, bandsaw). I usually turn my TS over and partially disassemble it to get out all the accumulated grime and dirty grease on the worm gears, then re-lube it, reassemble it, and take the time to get it tuned as well as I can. Same for jointer/planer knives. All the enclosed cabinet bases get opened and vacuumed.

In other words, it's time for all those "once in a while" tasks.

Thank you for your post. Maybe it will prod me into doing the same.

Also. Remember to put 2006 on your checks. WW

The only thing I do that with is my Beechcraft. The consequences are more than wasted stock...

Add to that smoke detector batteries and computer full system backup and you have my list! A pain, but worth it!

Yep, can't exactly pull over to the side and get out and walk. :-(
