cast iron prep/maintenance

[Valleyslim]

i just bought a sawstop finally and im currently putting it together and am on the cast iron wing extension. I wiped down the cast iron with a show towel but there is still a little oily residue. Whats best way to clean and maintain it. I have a whole can of johnsons paste wax but im not sure if thats what i should apply or if i still need to fully get that oily residue off. thanks

Clean the residue off with mineral spirits wipe it down with a clean towel or rag let it dry some and then apply the Johnson wax and buff that.  Re-apply the wax as needed, I usually do it every couple of months or so.
