Thought Of The Day

For the woodworking beginner there are two essential that can make most projects possible. These are a good hand drill and a good router. More than any other two tools a drill and router are the foundation of a woodworker’s tool arsenal because of their versatility.
The Hand DrillA drill is designed to (obviously) drill into things. A good reliable hand drill can be used for drilling holes for screws making decorative holes and it can even replace biscuit joinery when necessary.
With a drill you can create dowel joinery which is less sophisticated but certainly just as effective and definitely less expensive.

What is the best cleaner and/or lubricant for power tools
What do you use to polish/coat the top of a table saw What kind of cleaner and lubricant should I use for cordless and/or corded power tools What’s the best way to restore aged or tarnished metal The manuals and people I have asked refer to a “mild solution” for cleaning please expand on this and maybe suggest what types of chemicals would deliver the strongest and best results.

For the table saw you can wax with a common NON SILICONE furniture wax such as Johnson’s or Minwax. Let it haze then buff off just like waxing a car. Don’t use car wax. You can get a special compound called BoeShield but I’ve never seen the need for it.

You can do similar for the shoes of portable power tools and beds and fences of jointers and planers.

For general cleaning just a soft cloth brush or air gun. If there is oily residue on the surfaces you can dampen the rag in naphtha. For non-oily soling just a cloth dampened in Dawn and water but I’ve never seen the need for this much cleaning

To restore tarnished / rusted metal such as old planes and chisels buff with 0000 steel wool or fine wet-dry sandpaper lubricated with WD-40 or mineral spirits. Wipe of the swarf with a clean rag.
