I use siverglide, a German product, that both lubricates & protects machine surfaces (eg jointer, t/s top, b/s top, etc) without leaving any residue that will affect finishes an so on.
Some people swear by a lump of old fashioned paraffin wax, liberally smeared on...

A'Bass I shined up my TS top a week ago and used silverglide only used the TS once for about 1/2hr now where ever my hands have touched it(setting up a tennon jig/dado blade)has rusted... not happy!
How often are you applying it, I notice on the tin if using resinous woods(crapiarta...) you should thin it down with petrol and apply it regularly, Im presuming thats on all day production runs... or is it?....................................................................

TTIT,
Awesome.
I have a Carbatec equivalent of your Hafco, I went with the Carbatec because it came with a bigger fence. What was it about your old fence you didn't like? Height, strength???
Since I do a lot of resawing, and am trying bigger bits (small logs) I may have to use some of your ideas...
Again awesome - will take me a while to digest your design.

Fiddly to install - trying to slide those square washers into the track - ridiculous.:mad:
Flimsy - parallel flex was atrocious. :eek:
Too limited - without removing the track and moving it along a notch, you could only rip to about 200mm wide.
Too low - attaching anything higher would have been insecure on the inadequate base.
I could go on but that's enough

Agree about the fence. It's really only any good for narrow cuts on light timber, and if you don't get the square washer right, it's way off square.
Looks great TTIT!
I'd buy one of those fences (don't have the skills or the equipment to make my own) would you be interested in making another one?

I've been using Silverglide for some time no, and have NEVER had rust on any of my machine's surfaces'; and that in Melbourne, despite a fairly "dicky" shed weatherwise...
As to the frequency of application, I'd guess at about once a month; perhaps more often after heavy use.

TTIT,
Havnt really noticed if it is sticky or not. Only used it on the Saw Bench. I'm thnking it would be as it is only an aerosol version of the Lanolin.
The spray can was expensive, from memory, but I havnt even made a dent on it. I only use it every 12 months or so, and generally only if I leave something on the bench that causes some rust.
I have been told it is also good for using on SS fittings on boats, especially if the fittings arent imersion grade SS.

I found that the lanotec did get a bit sticky, especially if I used too much or didn't rub it in/polish/buff it, or tried to use it before it had dried fully.
Other than that, I really like it and while it is a bit pricey, it does last, and last.....
cheers

Cheepo Rollers
HI TTIT
You mention you got two sets of rollers from the importers could you please mention their name as I would also like to put rollers on my band saw.
I was in the process of making a fence along the lines of the Beismeyer copy when you posted your excelent design. I had wanted one for a while and was busy collecting bits.
ThanksBrian

G'day,
Very nice set up there TITTT, very nice.
re: surface rust
I just used a soft brush on the angle grinder to clean up the surface rust off the table of the b/saw. Did it once about a 8 months ago, same too on the jointer and it's still clean as the day I did it.

Hi TTIT,
Bit of a newbie question here...
But if you're not using a guide under the sled - what holds the sled and that heavy log tight against the fence. . ? - tight enough to ensure a parallel cut (not to mention safety)

Hi Ozzie_Boof
Yeah that's what I thought - then noticed that the channel was part of the sled. Wouldn't fancy "man-handling" a log like that...
Did you see the Johnny Cash movie - 'Walk the Line' - where his bro got the chop 'manhandling' logs. . .
phew...
