Paste Wax on a Table Saw
Vložit

- This table saw tip will help prevent your table saw top from rusting. It will also help your stock slide easier across the top by applying Johnson’s Paste Wax. I use this on my table saw to help everything glide smooth on the top and prevent rusting. You can also use steel wool and mineral spirits to remove rust from your table saw before applying the paste wax to the saw. Applying paste wax to the saw is a great way to maintain the finish and useability of your saw for years to come.

Awesome tip Matt, thanks for the video!
James Shores you’re welcome. Hope it helps.
Great work simple and to the point.
Another tip, if you use a saw sled, paste wax the bottom of that and the runners. It will make owl snot seem sticky.
The big benefit of the paste wax is it doesn’t have chemicals to stain the wood. Car wax will produce the same slick and protective surface, but contains staining chemicals that will react with tannic acid in many wood types.
I have a older craftsman 113 table saw. Wax is a life saver on it.
For sure
Picked me up some of that Johnson’s today. Hope you’re doing well.
"Slick as owl snot" ?? Hahahaha, that's a new one for me 😁
Can you use the finishing wax?
Nice
Wow mine dosent slide that well , then again mine is a portable and aluminum i think
How often are you applying the Johnsons Wax onto the table?
This paste is terribly expensive here in Malaysia.
Could I use beeswax instead?
Working with pine often, I've noticed a bit of sap buildup on my table saw surface. Any reccs for cleaning solvents or scraping before waxing?
Oh never mind. 5way does the trick!
Mineral spirits works also
Hey man, had a question… did you have any issues with your Delta Table Saw fence not being square? I was ripping some edges yesterday evening, and noticed it wasn’t 100% square when I locked it down. Any tips or advice?
I didn't have any issues. But you can adjust it. Take the fence off and flip it upside down. You'll see that there are a couple of tabs that go against the rails that you can adjust to get it square. Good info on how to do it here czcams.com/video/AK5MLWRHIa8/video.html
Johnson wax was discontinued in 2021, what do you recommend as a replacement?
Trewax
What do you use on your table saw table now since they stopped making SC Johnson Paste Wax?
Boeshield makes a good teflon based product. T-9 I think it is called. Also you can check out Carbon Method (search CZcams you'll see several videos). I bought the Carbon Method pack but haven't applied it yet.
How often do you find yourself having to reapply the wax?
About once every couple months
I didn't think it would last that long. I assume that varies with use, but still good to know. Thank you
You’re welcome
Frequently! All the time! Constantly! After any project I have I will blow it off and wipe it down before I slide it home in its bunk. Seriously. Its soooo easy to apply and one tub like he has will last for a long long time. If you make wood jigs its great for that as a finish as well. I lube my router sleds and miter sleds with it. I cannot imagine life without it! Get it! Use it!
Side note. If you are working with fine lumber that you will be dyeing or staining later you might consider wiping the project down with mineral spirits just in case any wax transferred to the wood. Not really all that likely to be an issue but its also not a bad idea anyway to help raise any grain that needs it before you find out the hard way :)
Hey Matt, I have the same table saw and love it as well. Have you thought about an outfeed table and found any online for purchase? I’m looking for one before I think about having to build one.
I haven’t looked for one online. But I have thought about building one. I do need one! Right now I have my old Delta table saw behind it using it as an outfeed table. It’s about 4” shorter though so it’s not really an outfeed table. It just keeps my stock from falling to the floor.
I have a question, I just bought a craftsman table saw used not new and wondering if you can tell me what is a good blade to rip boards with?any bell is appreciated, thanks
I have the Diablo 60 tooth (see link) blade and it works great! It cuts like a hot knife through butter! (Amazon affiliate link) amzn.to/2Ix97TB I’ve been using it for a few months and it is still sharp.
Thanks for the info sir..
Anytime
@@731Woodworks That's what I use also......not expensive, makes a great cut and lasts. I have been using it a lot on soft maple for my kitchen cabinets.
I have a few tips on how to keep your table saw from wobbling.
Gang!!!!! Matt and Amy are awesome. Spread the word to have friends subscribe to the channel, and “like” his vids!!!
👊🏻 thank you Paul!
This guy looks a lot like Donald Cowboy Cerrone!
lol
The fact that you didn't bother to clean the sawdust off of your table saw beforehand, tells me everything I need to know about you and the work that you do.
Take pride in what you do boy !
I prayed for you today. I hope you have a blessed day.
@@731Woodworksthe fact that you prayed for someone who tried to publicly shame you tells me everything I need to know about you. Continue to work as unto the Lord brother. God bless you
