Anyone come up with a way of preventing the oxidation?

I use wax, Top Saver, Top Cote, whatever's handy. They all work for
me, and all seem to slow the process to a crawl.

BTW, one of mine is not corroded, but one that was left inside an MDF
box got severely corroded. I think something the MDF was outgassing
greatly accelerated the process. Both routers are similar vintage, so
the materials are the same.
