I have one of tose Taiwan bench sanders that has worked fiarly well until lately. It squeals like it needs lubrcation. I don't see a place to add oil or grease. I suppose that it has sealed bearings, but is there anything that can be done to stop that squeal ?

probably does not have bearings - more likely bushings (bronze) on these cheap units. Mine was a problem too and I had to take it apart and put some oil in the bushings. Cleaned it first. Was only temporary - I finally had to have new shafts and bushings made.
