Wood and steel screw lubrication
Just a heads up for those using wooden and steel screws in vises, etc. I do not know how it would fare in machines, such as a tablesaw.
I’ve been using Selley’s Ezy Glide for a while now. The active ingredient is PTFE (Teflon). It seems to do a good job of smoothing the passing of a screw. So far I used it on wooden screws in a leg vise and Moxon vise, and the steel screw of the end vise. It dries clear and does not get greasy or attract sawdust.

This is very timely Derek. I’ve been lubricating my vices this weekend, and have always just used light machine oil. It works for a while, but is messy whilst waiting for a layer of sawdust to stop it spreading on contact with work pieces.
I’ll add a can to my list of things to pick up when next at the hardware shop.
