I just received a tablesaw tenoning jig from Woodcraft. Goodness gracious, was it coated with a thick axle grease as well as a thin coat of oil. It also wreaked of a gasoline-like odor. It definitely was not cosmolene.
I had to disassemble the entire jig, scoop the grease off of each part, then double wash each part with fantastic and a parts cleaning brush.
In order to put it back together, I had to use the exploded view in the instruction manual. No where was there mention in the manual of having to do all this.
It took about 2 hours to clean, reassemble and adjust. If I knew this, I probably would have not ordered it.
