Metal Protection

[Frank Eaton]

I have a floor model table saw that I am forced to leave outside, even leaving it covered I can't keep up with the rust. What is a good protectant for the tabletop to slowdown/ stop the rust. Thanks Frank Eaton

You don't hear much about this product, but those that have used it say it works better than anything they've tried,............. ever!

This is what I use on my anvil, a old towel soaked with WD40 and held down with bricks. I hope it really works this year??? My anvil is buried in a snow bank.

The have lots of rust prevention/corrosion protectants, it's for auto applications though.

I use "Briwax" and it is the best rust preventive I have used to date.

Flitz wax, same company as Flitx polish , works on blued blades, guns s/steel. 1000 hr. salt spray rating. Fp-10, by shoots choice. Used by military to replace mil-spec and clp, have actually had wd-40 pit d-2. No moister, Just stright wd-40..Use it as belt lube only.

The WD in WD 40 stands for water displacer, but it only works occasionaly for that.

I keep my anvils covered in used oil from a deisel, don;t know what makes the difference, but it works great! I don't use all my anvils all the time, (like the small ones that I take to demo's) so I coat them with the oil, come back months later to an anvil, and it's still oily and not rusted.

I just bought a spraycan of this stuff called Boeshield T9 to try for much the same purpose:
