I have a sears craftsman router which I use occasionaly as I am not a serious woodworker...more of a weekend DIY'er. The rotating component that adjusts the depth of the tool is very difficult to rotate by hand as there seems to be much resistance between the rotating part and the router housing itself.
Is there any suggestion on how to lubricate this to make it easier to turn? Obviously any oil would most likely attract saw dust and make matters worse. I seen a carpenter use paraffin wax to lubricate hardwood on a old sliding closet doors that did not use rails. It looked like it was solid and wiped on with a rag. He also said it does not attract dust or dirt. Where can paraffin wax be bought?
Thanks
