Jim McDonald Posted September 23, 2017 Report Share Posted September 23, 2017 Don't know what the weather is in your locations, but here in the Midwest USA, it is a marvelous day to drag the saw out onto the patio, blow it clean, scrub the table and apply a couple of coats of wax to the table. The sun has moved around to the south , but is still plenty strong to heat up the table and open the pores to get a good deep coat on it. Went for two coats while I was out there.

OCtoolguy Posted September 24, 2017 Report Share Posted September 24, 2017 Anybody heard of "Brazilian waxing"? I hear all the women talking about it. I wonder how it works. Ray Scrappile 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky2 Posted September 24, 2017 Report Share Posted September 24, 2017 I wax my saw table twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall. I usually do it on the weekend the time changes, same as changing the batteries in the smoke detectors. Len SCROLLSAW703 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once you put a piece of formica on your saw table forget about oils and waxes forever.I've been using the same table on many dewalts for years and it still like new.
