Topic tags/keywords: question tablesaw finishing sanding steel top

Folks,

When I got the table saw, just after Christmas, I cleaned of the oily residue with mineral spirits. I then polished with Johnson’s paste wax. It looked Ok, but I really wasn’t impressed.

I polished a few time over the weeks, same thing.

Then I asked a person in a local wood /working/craft store how I could get better results. He gave me a bottle of cleaning solution (see photo), he said try that.

After cleaning the table saw with the stuff, I came back to find these blochie stains (see photo). I have cleaned with mineral spirits and waxed, but I can’t seem to get ride of these stains.

Any Ideas ?

Thanks

-Fred

What I have used from time to time is either a scotch brite pad and some light machine oil, or heavy duty rubbing compound followed by paste wax.

Rubbing compound is good, but I’d suggest going to a restaurant supply store and pick up a block or two of Rotten-stone. It’s used in kitchens to clean cast iron griddles, and since the saw table is iron, it would work. Rotten-stone is just uncrushed pumice. Check for the grades of course, and use the finest grade they have. Wet the table with a bit of mineral oil.
