I just bought a used FS-9 saw and I have two questions which hopefully members can answer.
1. Saw has some rust, although nothing major. Shaft has quite a bit of rust although it turns freely and bearings appear OK. I would like to refresh this saw in the future. Are shafts and bearings standard size and can they be bought somewhere? What kind of prep and paint should I do? Can anyone recommend a file or a video that addresses refinishing a saw? Sounds like standard painter's knowledge but I know nothing about scraping, painting etc.
Oil or water with additive on this saw? I will use in my garage with little temperature fluctuation as I am in Central Coast CA. Even though it's a trim saw, I have an abundance of small rough that I will try to cut slabs out of. I know the size limitations of the blades. Saw came with about 10 brand new blades still in package, including five RayTech yellow Blazer blades.
I'm thinking light oil so I don't have to take out the blade after each use.
I also have the HiTech 6" trim saw which I will keep for the time being.
Thank you all. If this has been covered in the past, please point me to the file if you know.
