Gooday.
I don't know the composition of Seibergleitz (Silverglide) or as it is known around our place Slippery **** but I know that a lot of people would like to know.
It is great stuff for any surface that has to have timber slide across it. Works exceptionally well on saw tables, jointers and planers. Works on wooden surfaces as well provided that you lacquer it first e.g Radial arm benches.
It does not interfere with any surface finish but can leave a silver residue which can be sanded off.
It is available through most tool and machinery retailers. Woodman group have it as does Carbatec.
Small tip: in hot weather keep it in the fridge, it melts badly.

Here here to baby powder have used it for years draging cables thru conduits. Unbeatable & clean.
Tried it on my saw bench jigs great. needs re-applying but it also carries muck off with it.
The poofy smell is a bit oa a worry???
Any thing with sharp teeth eats meat.
Most powertools have sharp teeth.
People are made of meat.
Abrasives can be just as dangerous as a blade.....and 10 times more painfull.

I've gotta think that the silverglide stuff you guys are talking about is very good, but leaves behind a silver residue...
There is something that is sold in the states that works wonders, it is called "topcote" and is made specifically for this purpose.. Here is a link to the page at Highland hardware.

I use Johnson's paste wax. Don't know if you can get it over there. If you can't let me know. It is a floor wax.
