What is the best protective stuff to apply to the table saw, bandsaw
table etc.


EVERY Location is different. Temp and humidity have a great deal to do
with rust.

Wax is ok under very controlled environments.

The biggest issue is condensing moisture. If you equipment gets cold
and is sudden exposed to warm moist air hardly anything will help.

I personally use GlideCote. Nothing else has lasted more than a day or
two. And GlideCote is not perfect.

Actually "USE" is the best for protection assuming there is no
condensing moisture.

AND FWIW if you actually use your tools your sweat will be an issue.

You just have to experiment with what works best for you in your situation.
