    Dip the ends of the rough stock in liquid paraffin. When you first get them.

    It will, if you if you have 200-300' of it.

    If you can tolerate a 1/2" tool, I'd recommend solid carbide.
    It will last much longer than brazed-on.

    Want to make jigs? The life's blood of woodworking.
    Jigs are held together with fasteners, rarely joinery.

    It will be a struggle with a router.
    Your job, something you don't want to hear, is for
    the shaper. Dozens of cutter choices, the power,
    and, of course, expensive.

    Used to be a PC vendor. Am well in tune with all models.
    Had a theft, had to get a 7518 and 690 PK.
    Still as good as ever, a pity they're not made in Jackson any more.

    Yes, there should be concern.
    In 18" W, you may get a 3/16" - 5/16"/year in width.

    I would expect you'll use a ledger to support the box spring. Make that as thick as you'd like.
