Hi I have both the Porter Cable Porta Band 725 and 728 portable bandsaws. I mounted these vertically on homemade stands and tables. My question is, is it safe to keep these saws in the vertical position for extended periods of time during use and idled? Will this do any damage to the gears as these worm drive machines uses gear oil for lubrication. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance…:)
