rust-proofing the ways
WD 40 works for me. I use it after turning a green piece that has tannin and
the bed ways rust, the banjo squals and the tool rest binds. Spray some WD 40,
wipe with a paper towel and all works like new again with. I don't use wax
because it invites tailstock creep while WD 40 leaves a patina that helps the
grip.
