OT: I do a good bit of sawdust making in my home garage.
I have a screw drive garage door opener. It is supposed to have the screw lubed once a year or so. Maybe the rollers and track as well.
Normal lube most recommend is white lithium grease or spray on chain lube. Any thoughts considering the sawdust will stick to grease and make a nice lapping compound. I see powdered Teflon and graphite in spray cans but those do not seem like high pressure lubes for a screw jack.
Should I try to clean the old lube out before applying new? How?
