I have a Delta model 36-444 contractor saw with a Biesemeyer 79-016 T-Square fence (52"). It was purchased new in 1999. I have used it very little overall and, in the past 5+ years, almost none. I now note that the fence is a little difficult to move and seems to drag on both the saw and auxiliary tables whereas when it was new it was much easier to move. I have to admit, I have done nothing in the way of maintenance or suitable lubrication at any time. I also notice that the fence seems to be contacting the table(s); however, I haven't tried to check this with a feeler gauge to see if here is any clearance at all. I haven't checked the glide pads but have ordered a strip of 1/8" thick UHMW to replace them if I find a problem. Is there some type of suitable lubricant or wax that should be applied to the guide tube, saw table, and/or other moving parts periodically that will improve the movement across the tables? In looking over the original installation instructions, I don't see any way to "adjust" the clearance of the fence off of the table after it is installed. Apparently the small clearance of the fence over the table is solely dependent on positioning the front angle at the desired distance below the table top. I live in south Louisiana so there is some minor rusting that may also be a factor.
