Then a coating of some nice oil to protect it.

I like to coat my tool metal in Johnson's Paste Wax before assembly,
then oil. Works slick as silk and prevent rust longer than oil alone.


I use Johnson's on my table saw, band saw, and jointer. Hey, I'll use it on
my chucks also, my 4 jaw isn't so pretty. Maybe this winter I'll take the 4
jaw a part and work it over to make it purdy again.

Likely learned about JPW on R.C.W., maybe from you.
