What wax for my scroll saw

[Jaycraft]

Hi

I am new to this site and also new to the world of scroll sawing, having recently purchased my first scroll saw.
I am in need of a little advice.

What is the best paste wax I can get to treat the scroll saw table and does anyone know where I can get some in the uk?

Regards

I use clear Chestnut Wood wax 22 on my Deltas cast iron tables

I think any wax that doesn't contain silicon is ok, the silicon reacts with wood finishes, so it's not advised.

Hi Jay. The best wax for a scroll saw table is Liberon lubricating wax. You shake the tin, pour a little on and work it in the table, leave for a few minutes and then buff it up with a dry cloth. Its what I and many other use. It also protects the table from rust and the work slides real easy. The wood wax 22 is a was polish for wood and not recommended for scroll saw tables. Hope this helps.

Wax for rust proofing cast iron tables and other tools.

The above is a thread in General, and also mentions Chippygeoff's advice

Hi Dave

I am in Highnam.

I've had some good replies form my question yesterday. I'm probably going to go with Liberon lubricating wax from Axminster tools which seems the popular choice.

Happy scrolling

Can anyone tell me if it's advisable to use wax on a aluminum table or would you only use it on a cast table .
