When and how to do routine maintenance?

Post by ChrisNeilan »

I have had my 1982 vintage Mark V for a few years and have done nothing to it. Have not used it a lot, but some. That is about to change now. What internal maintenance should I perform, and how often?
Thanks for any advice.

Here is a discussion that should be of some help:

1981 Mark V 500, bandsaw, belt sander, jig saw, jointer; contractor's table saw; multiple circular saws and miter saws; and a trailer full of tools.
