Cleaning &
Protecting
Cleaning the bandsaw is relatively easy. Vacuum
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 it clean after every use—this
ensures moisture from wood dust does not remain
on bare metal surfaces. Keep the table rust-free
with regular applications of products like G96
