Hello all,
I set up my first shop in my garage this March. It seems every few weeks or every month I am getting minor surface rust on any cast iron tops (unisaw, jointer, planer, band saw). I have been doing a light wet sanding with 500 grit and mineral spirits then following up with Johnsons paste wax.
Is this just because of the humidity? Is there something different I should be doing instead or in addition? I feel this shouldn't be happening this frequently. I make sure all saw dust and everything is cleaned off my equipment after every use to prevent any moisture from sitting on the cast iron.
Thanks,
Nick
