bevel on miter saw grinds when turned.

[xxtinct]

I have a 10inch delta miter saw. The last time I used it, it began making a grinding noise, (metal on metal) when using the bevel to adjust the table to any degree off of zero. I have taken the table apart, and there is not really any burrs on pieces that could this grinding noise. Does the swivel part of the table need continued lubirication? If so what is the best lubrication to use?

Thanks.

I don't really know, but I would guess graphite to keep sawdust from sticking to oils. I would be looking for a grain of sand or something, you sure you got it all apart? I don't suppose you have a stethescope to locate the sound?

Do you keep this saw clean? As in blow it out every time you use it? Odds are you have buildup if not.

Maybe it's your 'elbow' making the noise, - - how old are you?? :lol:

Seriously, - - graphite should work, - - or dry silicone spray.
