I've recently acquired an old lathe, with lots of tooling, and am considering my options for racking the collets, chucks, and other accessories.
Is there any guidance on what woods, if any, can be safely kept in contact with precision steel bits, that won't cause or enhance corrosion? I was considering plywood with lots of holes, and an oil finish (boiled linseed oil). That means the glue in the plywood is also a possible issue.
There will be lubricants in contact with these parts, so oil-resistance of glue in the plywood is another possible issue.
