Purchased a can about 20 years ago from Trend Lines and can't find it via google. It came in a 2.5 oz shoe polish type can, label says made in West Germany. Kity Speed used sparingly makes machinery table tops extremely slick. Anyone ever used it or know where to purchase?
Thanks
Tim

Doesn't appear to be available anymore. You could try graphite ski wax or make your own .

There's many options...

Also Slipit is a good option. I use Sprayway woodworking lube.

Probably the same stuff as Waxilit.

I say this because I have owned both INCA and KITY machines and I believe they were probably made in the same French factory. INCA supplied Waxilit. Both makers used injection cast aluminum for machine tables.

It appears waxilit may be the closest match but I will experiment with all the suggestions. Rick any ideas on where to purchase Sprayway SP295? We use Sprayway window cleaner which is a very good product. My neighbor is a skier, will check with him on graphite wax. Thanks for all the suggestions.

Wow the power of the internet, no sooner did I post this I notice a google sponsor link for EMI supply at the bottom of this page. They have SP295.

I have a can that I got in a box at an auction. Never knew what it was used for, so I had to keep it. Looks like metallic grease.
