Default DeOxit as a corrosion inhibitor

All very interesting and ties into my latest purchase. I bought a
metal brake to bend flashing in my house. It came coated in oil, which I
removed just by wiping with a paper towel, because it was so messy.
Within two days in my screened porch it started to rust. So while I'm
not using it, I used motor oil on a paper towel to re-oil the metal
surfaces.
This will be a rarely used tool, and will be stored in my non-climate
controlled outdoor shed.
How do I best protect the surface
Ditto, my new drill press!.

Motor oil might work. I've never tried it. I use automotive grease
on my drill press. Just about any grease or liquid wax that doesn't
run, melt, or wash off should work. I've also used liquid furniture
wax.

There are a wide variety of marine corrosion protection sprays and
pastes available.

The forum is mostly about CNC machines, but also covers other aspects
of machining. For example:
