crupiea Posted September 2, 2017 Report Share Posted September 2, 2017 Just a reminder. i have been talking with a friend about it and got to looking at mine, been a while since I waxed it and had a load of oil from my hands on it. Sanded it down and waxed it up and now its just like brand new. Good weekend to do this. SCROLLSAW703 and MTCowpoke22 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hawkeye10 Posted September 2, 2017 Report Share Posted September 2, 2017 Some times I think I spend half my time waxing all my table tops. It truly makes a difference. SCROLLSAW703 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SilverSliver Posted September 2, 2017 Report Share Posted September 2, 2017 1 hour ago, rjweb said: Wax on wax off, RJ When I was scrolling I would keep a box of wax paper near the saw. I would give the table a once over every so often. I did not have to wait for the wax to dry and be buffed.. Worked for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOE_M Posted September 2, 2017 Report Share Posted September 2, 2017 The top of mine is nice and smooth, but there's a pile of sawdust building up in that one spot underneath. Maybe it's time for a brazilian wax? crupiea 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Posted September 2, 2017 Report Share Posted September 2, 2017 I coated my table with Teflon last year and no rust. The saw dust can be easily blown or swept off effortlessly. No wax needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom Scroller Posted September 2, 2017 Report Share Posted September 2, 2017 I don't wax on, wax off I use WD40 PTFE or SILICONE spray and the PTFE is great for double glassed window hinges in fact any hinge no sticky residue for dust and grime to stick to http://www.wd40.co.uk/wd-40-specialist/ Lucky2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Johnson Posted September 3, 2017 Report Share Posted September 3, 2017 I've always been in the habit of cleaning saw, oiling and waxing table after each use. I was taught at an early age to clean up shop when done and is just automatic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharleyL Posted September 5, 2017 Report Share Posted September 5, 2017 I wax my scroll saw tables evry day before use. I wax the tables of all of my tools at least once per month, or more frequently if used heavily. Charley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonylumps Posted September 5, 2017 Report Share Posted September 5, 2017 I started using vinyl shelf paper about 2 or 3 months ago and it has been working out real good. No more black on the bock of my work The work glides across it.And it has been holding up real good.It seems like on the Excalibur all of them little Vac.holes have been collecting all of the residue from waxing.Now they are covered up.
