Looks great and has held up fine (5+ years). I have a Delta
(Rockwell) scroll saw and belt sander from that era. No lube ports on
the sander, saw has an oil reservoir right under the table.


Wood magazine did a test between several different methods/products for
rust removal and prevention.

You may find that some of the newer products will save you some time and
energy, as WD-40 and Johnson's both did the worst at their respective
tasks.


I tend not to believe everything I read, especially when it doesn't jive
with my own experience. If I did, FWW would have convinced me a year
ago that I needed a 20 ton press to do a panel glue up. Been doing this
since '94 when I got my table saw. Johnson's takes maybe two minutes
to apply, wait 10 then 2 more to buff off and that only twice a year.
The top looks as good today as when I bought it. Now doing the same
with all the tools. Not sure what could be easier than that but I
should probably stick with this. I could use the excersize.

Just my $0.02
