The bearings went out on my saw - not sure what caused it but the first symptom I observed before the wobbles showed up was it leaking a lot of oil out the pulley hole. I don't know if the wobble caused the gaskets to fail or the other way around. I wonder if the lite mineral oil I use caused the arbor cover seals to fail and let oil into the bearings - if anyone has opinions on any of this please lay them on me.
I'm getting ready to put it back together and have a bunch of questions - first time I've done this.
How liquid tight I need to make the arbor cover?
It has two thick felt gaskets on the pulley and blade entrances - I will probably remake these myself. Will any felt work for this? Is there a better material?
Would you guys recommend using a good form-a-gasket on the edges of the tray where it screws to the bearing plate?
Thanks for reading.
