This is my first post to the group and I look forward to interacting on here from now on!
I have recently been acquiring good quality used powertools to expand my beginner-woodworker's shop. The table saw and planer I bought both had built up a light surface rust on their tables from lack of use. The guy I bought the saw from cleaned the majority of rust off with vinegar and WD-40. I would like to finish cleaning and protect these tools with something that won't come off on the projects.
I talked with the guy at my local WoodCraft, where I was about to buy some T9. He suggested carnuba wax instead. Anyone have experience with this or opinions on the best way to prevent rust. I'm set up in an unconditioned two car garage, so need all the help I can get!
Thanks in advance!
