What is the best way to protect bare steel metal surface (IT RUSTS
EASILY) for use in woodworking ? It is on a band saw.

Bee's Wax ?

Suggestions please.

A thin layer of cabinet grade plywood.


That prevents rust


You are as stupid as ever. All the other methods given in other posts will contaminate the wood. With the plywood cap in place, you can treat the metal with anything you want without the contamination problem. Just as a good condom would have prevented your dad from contaminating the gene pool.
