waxing a table saw plate?

Paste wax. Johnson's. Yellow tin with red stripe at Lowes.

Johnsons paste wax was discontined years ago, and this change in Johnson's product line has been supported countless times here on the wreck.

Slipit

Boeshield is a spray on.

Both are effective at preventing rust. Slipit is perhaps more slippery.

A simple Google search of "johnson paste wax" gives

No, it has NOT been discontinued. Neither years ago nor now.

Imagine my surprise last week when I saw the Johnson's paste wax at my local

Go here and you will find that in the U.S. you can still buy the product.

Actually, is your tongue in your cheek? LOL Flame ON.

I use "Top Saver" #GC-010 by General international (25$ can.). It is a rust remover and lubricant combined in the same product.

Didn't we just have this Johnson's Wax discussion about 10 days ago in a separate thread? All y'all keep this up and I'll upload another episode of Fibber McGee and Molly, perhaps with a Christmas theme instead of woodworking this time.

Johnson's paste wax is currently found in many stores. Stick with what you know--RAS's.

Are you talking about the table insert or table or both? The first thing I do is sand all the paint off the insert. The paint is put on by the manufacturer to indicated a danger area, but it will gum up over time from the resin in the wood. then it will either streak your fine hardwood or at the very least create a variable viscosity surface which is exactly what you don't want on the feed surface of a saw.

In my opinion it doesn't matter as much how much resistance the feed has (how slippery) as long as it is consistent throughout and you don't hit areas that have more or less drag. That is a dangerous condition.

Any table top wax that does not have silicone will do. I use Empire, but have used many others.

This is not true. It was a rumer that got out of hand. Jhonson's paste wax is still made and sold, though they did qit selling it in Canada.

I use SLIPIT as well.

One more time: It's been discontinued in Canada, not in the U.S..

No foolin' you, eh?
