Popular Post davewyo Posted May 29, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted May 29, 2020 Until about a week ago my table saw had been disassembled and the pieces wrapped in cardboard for two and one half years. When I moved to Colorado my new digs didn't have 220v power in the garage so it stayed "in storage" for longer than I had foreseen. Of course I didn't know how the cast iron was doing that entire time so I was pleasantly surprised when I opened the cast iron "wings" to find that they were as spotless as the day I packed them up. I coated the cast iron with a product called LPS3 Rust Inhibitor. It sprayed on easily, left a waxy coating that was quite thick, was easily removed with denatured alcohol, and it completely protected the cast iron from rust for 2 1/2 years. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chestnut Posted May 29, 2020 Report Share Posted May 29, 2020 Cover it in oil and wrap everything up is how I handeled my cast iron when i moved. Mine sat in a storage unit for only 5 months though. Glad your saw is still in great condition. Does this mean you have access to 220v now and are going to put it back to work? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davewyo Posted May 29, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2020 Yes indeed! It is up and running. All the spots for breakers were taken up so we had to add a small sub-panel but otherwise it was no big deal. I had moved with my cross-cut sled and it still cuts true. I made a fold-up out-feed table for it akin to the one Dr. Zaius showed recently. So I'm ready to push some wood across it again... I had been using my DeWalt DWE7490 and it's been a workhorse for me, but it sure is good to have my cabinet saw back. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I guess it was the both of us, but I drank the lion's share. Thanks everyone! Now let's see if I can get back to work furniture making on a regular basis. I'm having a hard time these days keeping a steady flow of ideas rolling. I need to have a plan drawn up for a next project before the finish starts going on the current project or I end up having big gaps in my production. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chip Sawdust Posted June 4, 2020 Report Share Posted June 4, 2020 LPS3 is perfect for that kind of work so I'd say you picked a product and used it exactly as they intended when they invented it. LPS1 and 2 may have helped, but nothing preserves as well as 3 for that kind of thing. Boeshield also works well and yes, it actually is used on airplanes. LPS3 is to some degree but it does collect a bit of dust. Boeshield hardens and protects. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
