I would use silicone spray lube for this kind of application. WD 40 still leavs an oil film that will attract dust and sawdust, and could gum tings up Silicone should dry up and still provide a slick surface. Blessings, Tom

Hi ya, I'm wondering what's best to clean and lube the crank for raising my table-saw up and down. It's really tough to turn. I was thinking wd40 and then Johnson's paste floor-wax, but that's my answer to just about anything. Well... I don't use wd-40 much, but I feel a want-too, coming on again here lately. I just read one of their FAQ's on the net. I use it to clean my tool's table-tops and then I go over them with the wax. I have axel Greece, which I use on the posts of my wife's golf-cart, but not sure what else it is good for.
