Hello,
For those that own an RAS, how do you protect the top? I recently got a RAS from my Aunts Family, it lightly used and in really good shape. The top that was on it wasn't all that great and when looking some info up on it, I found the Craftsman Recall. Well I checked the serial number and sure enough I got a new Top and Blade Guard (for Free I should add).
Anyway, the old to was a coarse particle board type stuff. The new top is a 1" thick piece of what looks like MDF. Seeing how this just sits in the garage and I line in Michigan, I was wondering if I should put something on it. I have recently found the wonders of Johnsons Paste wax for my Table Saw, Jointer and Planer, would that work for MDF or is that a bad idea? Shouldn't have the table be slippery or would it make it swell up or something?
I have found this forum extremely helpful and thought it better to ask first than to correct my mistakes later.
Thanks,
Drew
