The radial arm saw puts out a significant amount of sawdust, unless it's hooked into a dust collector. Mine has never had that luxury, so dust has infiltrated most of the various components of the saw.
The next step was a big one - cleaning the rollers and track on which the saw travels. They were a mess. First I pulled off the front plate on the overhead arm, and peeked inside. 
It was filthy,
but before I could really clean anything, I had to pull the whole saw out of the track. Not an easy feat, as the motor is very heavy. So I pulled up a cart to the front of the saw, and lowered the motor until it just rested on the cart.
Then I slowly wheeled the cart (and the motor) out of the carriage. Here are the bearings, which were really dirty.
My rag went from this
to this.
After the cleaning, the track looked like this.
I wheeled the cart right back up to the overhead arm, and slid the bearings back in place. After making sure everything moved smoothly, I put the front plate back in place.
The locking handle needed an adjustment, too.
When locked down, the knob on the end of it hit the body, keeping it from fully locking in place. This adjustment required loosening the set screw, and pulling off the handle, putting it into a different position so the knob wasn't in the way. This simple procedure took forever, as I couldn't loosen that big bolt in the center of the handle.
A call to Delta saved the day. The nut doesn't come off! So I grabbed the biggest screwdriver in the shop and pried the handle off.
Next step? Replacing the table. 
When I ended Part One of how I added a motor to my slab roller, I'd just finished adding a shelf to the legs, thus giving myself a place to mount the motor. 
Even though the motor that will drive the slab roller looks wimpy, it's not. 
I decided mounting the motor control box would be my first task. It's location is important, and I didn't want it to be in an inconvenient location.
Looking at the end of the slab roller, it made sense to use some of the same bolts that were used to connect the legs to the apron. That metal is fairly beefy, and I didn't feel like drilling new holes, if I didn't need to. So I removed a couple of the bolts on each leg.
After a little measuring to determine the size for a piece of plywood, I propped the control box up against the plywood, to make sure I'd done everything correctly.
Of course, I couldn't use the old bolts that I'd removed from each leg, they were now too short, with the addition of the plywood. So I went over to my "bolt drawer". 
Doesn't every one have one of those?
OK, it's a big mess. (I knew you were thinking that.) But it had exactly what I was looking for - longer bolts.
Then I drilled some holes for mounting the box to the plywood. Don't pay any attention to that dried blood on the handle of my drill. That's from a while ago.
Everything was going according to plan, I bolted the plywood in place, and then hit my first snag.
The location of the holes meant I needed to drill some new holes in the legs.
But remember that I mentioned those legs were made of heavy gauge of metal? I had to drill holes in the metal when mounting that shelf, and it wasn't any fun. In fact, it was probably the worst part of that whole task. So I put on my thinking cap and decided I'd add a couple spacers behind the plywood, so that the bolts wouldn't have to go through the legs.
Spacers? No problem... just a short walk over to the "Washer" drawer.
Pure washer heaven.
A couple of spacers later, and the control box is mounted. It's location is perfect.
It really went together quite easily.
Well, sort of. I scratched the crap out of my arm while reaching for something.
Considering how hot it was in my studio, I thought this would be a good time to quit for the day.
Oh, what was I thinking? I can't stop in the middle of something like this. So I started examining the motor, to figure out how to mount it.
Dave was kind enough to put a warning label on the plug that CANNOT be plugged into a regular wall outlet. And he left me a note that said I could mount the motor in one of two ways. I chose the four holes on the bottom.
Bolts, anyone? I'm the queen of bolts. 
A couple of measurements, to determine the size of the plywood I'll need to cut.
A little more measuring, which brings up a pet peeve. Notice the tape measure, and how it reads upside-down? 
That's why I bought several of these from Lee Valley, made for right-handers like me.
Isn't 93% of the world right-handed? Can anyone tell me why ALL tape measures don't read like the Lee Valley tape measure?
Just as I was ready to start mounting the motor to a piece of plywood, I realized I was running out of time. I have a class to teach in a few hours, and I need to clean up and print off a few hand-outs.
Stay tuned, the next step will be interesting....
