Aluminium Tablesaw top wax?

[Mark18PLL]

I have purchased a new table saw which has an aluminium table, what would you recommend using to protect it and help material glide better? I have read things like Glidecote are good but cant find it in uk.

Cheers

I use Axminster Machine Wax and it is very good, you don't need much at all.

Thanks for the reply, and that is ok for Aluminium?. I have a new Festool TKS 80 table saw and want to look after the top as best i can.

I would add that when I bought my new bandsaw with a cast iron table I wiped over a coat of AF50 then buffed on a coat of Axminster Machine Wax but I doubt you need the Af50 for an aluminium top.

I have an evolution table saw with an ali top. Just give it a couple of squirts of dry PTFE spray. Works for me
