The discussion about putting oil on bandsaw blades reminded me about something I started doing this year.

I’ve never been happy with paste wax or T-9 or other stuff I’ve tried to keep my large ways smooth and rust free. This past spring I started using my CLP gun oil that I use the clean and protect my guns. After turning wet wood I hit the lathe with the spray on oil and steel wool. My tool rest has never slid so smoothly.

Anyways, passing it along.
