Indiana Saw Man, when my saw was new I used my random orbit sander starting with 220 grit paper, 250, 280 and finished with 320 grit. I then applied a couple coats of Johnson's paste wax. I apply the wax every 2 or 3 months. My table is cast iron, if you have an aluminum table I wouldn't use sand paper on it, maybe some fine steel wool then the wax.

I recently worked in a large wood shop with everything from large Beam saws to Router tables.We used diffrent spray products and all worked well. Right now I am using a product called JIG-ALOO LUBRICANTthat works well for me.I buy it at our local hardware supply store.Only thing we had to watch for was to check and see that it had no silcone in it. I try to wait untill they have a sale and buy 2or 3 cans.

Arbor wax is also a good product, it has a 1200 girt pumas in it. Works good using a buffer wheel and its a one step proses. I use it on my turnungs but it works well on all my metal surfaces.

Bostick is a good product and it's made here in michigan. I think it's the last company we have left in this state, so buy now before they move to mexico.
