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? Scott |

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! -- Few folks really know how to maximize the potential of their tools! |

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. -- Few folks really know how to maximize the potential of their tools! |

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? Scott |

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. -- W James Brokenbourgh Custom furniture maker http://artisticwoodstudio.com/ |

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. |
