Hello Brandon
I too own a 1000ex, Your slides are different than what BOB has on his 1200.
On the 1000 the slides are shaped like a "T" not a top hat. If you are
binding up it may be that the carriage is out of whack. (I love these
technical terms.) ;-) check the movement of the carriage by checking the
play from side to side, is there any play from corner to corer (on a
di-angle ) ? as for my machine in the winter the cold effects the rails a
lot, I need lots of Lubricant to keep the machine moving freely, but at 60
deg. my machine moves freely, and slides well. below that temp. its just not
worth the effort.
since my machine is in an un-heated garage. (meaning its not heated unless
I'm working out there.) and it takes my machine a long time to become warm
enough to work with when its very cold out there.
Now on to Bob's question. Dyna-Glide will not harm or effect your woods
ability to take on a stain, un-like silicon that will or can damage the
woods ability to take on a finish.. I've tested a very large number of
different lubricants on my machine. NOTHING WORKS better then Dyna-Glide,
for me. One can will last me a long time. the last order lasted over a year
of use. its well worth the expense and effort to buy this stuff when you
can.
Have a good day.

Hey Bob, you bring up a good point. I noticed that on my 1000ex,the sled
tends to become more difficult to slide as I approach the head stock. I
haven't done so yet, but I plan to measure put and square up all rails on
the machine... whenever I find some time.
