I bought an old 5" horizontal band saw a few months back. Haven't used it much since I bought it. Decided to do some PM today around the garage. One of the things I found was that the worm drive is dry other than a thin coating of oil on the walls of the drive chamber. Old cork gasket on it that is dry and broken. Looks like it leaked many moons ago. Small amount of brass shavings in there, but both gears look pretty clean and they mesh well. I'm thinking fresh 90W gear oil and some Permatex will make it happy.
Any reason not to use it? Will I kill a busload of nuns that are driving through my garage on their way back to the Convent from feeding the homeless?
