A quote from Lakeside earlier this year regarding magnesium corrosion.
"Salt water and palm juice are the two I know.. Had an MS460 in for service from a Florida ebay purchase... Clutch side cover eaten though, corrosion everywhere.. Bought an 026 from Huston once.. bad... used and entire tube of JB weld fixing it.."
Man, I wish I had seen this post before!
Cut my mothers date palm down about a week ago and didn't have time to clean the saw till this weekend. Part of the casting the locates the brake band is gone and pitting in the side cover :censored:
Watch out my sawdust breathing brethren, This "palm juice" stuff must be deadly to magnesium!
I'm having a beer now, maybe more than one
