Protecting
Cleaning the bandsaw is relatively easy. vacuum
away excess wood chips and sawdust, and wipe
off the remaining dust with a dry cloth. if any resin
has built up, use a resin dissolving cleaner to
remove it.
protect the unpainted cast iron surfaces on the
table by wiping the table clean after every use—
this ensures moisture from wood dust does not
remain on bare metal surfaces.
