I just finished polishing all the finished surfaces of my previously loved Jointer. While I dont have any T9 readily on hand, I do have a can of Slipit silicone free tool lube. Does anyone have any experience with this product? My plan is to spray a coat of Slipit, let it dry over night then polish the tables again with a clean soft cloth followed by a couple of coats of Butchers Wax. Or should I skip the Slipit and just lay down the wax?
Yeahs’ and neighs greatly appreciated! Thanks for your help.

Why would wait overnight after applying Slipit? With heavy we apply lube as needed which could be hourly. Slipit is a good product. Just do it!

Meant with heavy use. Slipit comes in a spray or paste form. Works well. Regular paste wax works well and I prefer to have less things cluttering up the shop so the more you can do with one product, the better off you are.

I have never used T9 or slipit on the beds of my equipment. I have always just used Johnson’s paste wax, I have heard good things about Slipit, but never tried it. Would the wax application remove at least a portion of the slipit? Just wondering.

Thanks for the input guys.. one final question, Should I skip the wax and just use the Slipit, or will the combination of the two be even better?

I just use wax after cleaning the surface .I’ve never used Slipit since wax works so well.I would guess just use one or the other.

Since I just cleaned and waxed the Uni last week, I think Ill try a little experiment and use Slipit on the Jointer and try a side by side comparison of the two.

I have used wax for 50 years. I recently bought some slipzit (I think that is the way it is spelled) from Rockler. It is a thin paste. I actually bought it to make some furniture drawers slide better. I like it but cant say it is any better than the wax. It cost more. It might last longer but we are not into longer just yet.

Have your say...
