However, when I worked as a machinist, we used a dry silicon spray for that purpose. https://www.zoro.com/lps-dry-film-si...oaArKVEALw_wcB We needed a material that did not attract or entrap dust.

One does NOT want to get silicone on any wood that is going to be finished (stained, varnished, oiled). A classic approach is paste floor wax, e.g., Butcher's. Try a woodworking newsgroup. "Sheet metal surfaces" Not wood. Which does not rust in any case. Peter Wieck Melrose Park, PA |

Best way depends entirely on your app, which you have not clarified. Teflon coated, gold plated, powder coated, oil, wax, paint, zinc, chrome, brass, burnt oil, any might be the best in your case. |

Any product for the purpose would have the same result.

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. |

Steel, stainless, cast iron, pot metal, saw blade, etc???? It helps to know what you're trying to protect. Also, some of the coating methods I suggested below are not appropriate for some flavors of steel. Bee's Wax ? Suggestions please. Cold bluing or passivation is probably the easiest, cheapest, and least protective method of protecting steel. The problem with wood working machinery is that it will abrade away the surface coating, expose the underlying steel, and proceed to rust. Hot bluing is more durable but requires multiple layers of bluing: https://www.wikihow.com/Blue-Steel If you want better protection, I suggest: 1. Nickel electroplating. 2. Black chrome plating over nickel. 3. Powder coated paint. If you need the surface to absorb oil for lubrication, I suggest Parkerizing: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parkerizing Nickel plating, you can probably it do yourself at home. https://www.caswellplating.com/electroplating-anodizing/nickel-plating-kits/nickel-electroplating-kits.html The others, I suggest you send the unspecified band saw part to a plating shop and have them plate it. For powder coating paint: https://www.eastwood.com/hotcoat-powder-coating.html or ask at your local automobile paint shop. If you don't mind re-coating the steel part, try one of the rust inhibiting sprays or coatings.
