A Little Help, Please

Post by db5 »

This weekend I bought 4 Sears/Craftsman carbide tipped blades (circa 1970-80s). Three appear to have never been used and one had been. They were sold by a young man who inherited them from his father. At $5 each I couldn't say no. He also had two non-carbide blades, still new and one in the original wrapper. I think his dad must have thought woodworking would be a good hobby and bought one of everything at Sears and then abandoned that hobby. I also got a wobble dado for $5 which had been used.

Here's my problem. I want to take it apart to clean and wax the blades but need some guidance. Probably someone here has done that and could point out the procedure.

db5. I had that blade but never tore it apart. So I'm not much help there. What I would say is are you willing to lose $5 if you can't get it back together? And did it come with the owner's manual. Maybe that would shed some light on the subject.
