[AT] Harbor Freight Saw report

[H. L. Staples]

Charlie  not sure if this will solve the problem or not.  But KY jelly is a
pretty good lubricant, might help with your slide.

Interesting to know that your slide is rough too.  I guess it has poor
quality linear bearings in the slides.  Just for those who haven't actually
seen the saw.  The rough slide is not a problem in the operation of the saw.
It isn't nearly that rough.  It just doesn't feel nice and smooth like a
Makita would.
