Regarding the Hammer Jointer/Pllaner, if the board is as flat as you say it is, then you've pushed all the atmosphere out from between the table and the board (it's commonly called creating a vacuum). That means you have the entire weight of the atmosphere pushing down on the top surface of the board. Of course it's going to be hard to push. You can get the same effect with hand planes, no matter how well the bottom is waxed.

Thanks for sharing the results. It seems to have definitely done the job. Definitely going to try it out, thanks for sharing Jason!!

Thanks for follow-up, I actually purchased carbon coat having watched your first video, but hadn’t set aside time to apply - now I have more motivation to get it done - Videos are always very professional and informative!

[@KeimpieceCarpentry]

great follow up. They just sent me a full kit, about to do a video as well. I desperately need this. The humidity in coastal NC is insane, my tops rust just looking at them. You video has given me great confidence in the product.

[@markglabinski526]

I too was curious about this product. Thank you for the unbiased update. Love this channel.

[@rickbyno2401]

I applied Carbon Coat about 5 months ago and it looks great. I live in Florida and do not keep my shop (garage) environmentally controlled 24/7 but only when I am in the shop. This stuff works great. I use it on all my tools.

when I purchased my Sawstop PCS, the day I removed the protective oil/paper I used 4 coats of Carbon coat on it. 5 months later it looks amazing like yours. Before I was waxing my old saw sometimes weekly, paste wax is a pain. I use the carbon glide spray about once a month and still getting great results from it. it will be nice to see how long this carbon coating last.

I also purchased the kit after seeing your first video but haven’t gotten around to applying it. (Bonus, they are from my hometown!) Sounds like a good task for this weekend; not that it even takes much time. Thanks for the reminder!

[@SpencleyDesignCo]

thanks for the follow up man! ordered mine 6-7 months ago and still haven't opened the box

[@richm9157]

I've had good results using LPS-1 on the Hammer J/P beds. I agree with the others here who have mentioned there may be some vacuum effect going on at the outfeed. Great video, thanks Jason !

[@donavanshomes]

Please let us know if the wax they are working on helps the the Hammer jointer surface it’s my only issue with my machine

[@markrasmussen8565]

Jason, Carbon Coat has the same effect on my 8” Grizzly jointer which has a total bed length of 72”. Being an old mechanical engineer I’m pretty sure what you have here is just a matter of physics. On the outfeed side you’re pushing a freshly planed, very flat surface across another very flat surface. A vacuum has formed between the two surfaces making it a friction fit. Think suction cup. A great solution might be for the manufactures of these machines to put small through holes in the outfeed table.

[@tonybrischler5172]

Glad I came across this. I'm a few weeks away from setting up my new Harvey saw and plan on applying 3-4 coats of the Carbon method right off the bat. Can't hurt to try it on my older Hitachi table saw as well.

[@marktk5215]

Will the Carbon Glide decrease friction on table saw blades and router bits?

[@robertwood6272]

About the friction on the outfeed side of the joiner, knife-makers long ago began to put hollow-grinds in their blades just past the cutting edge to allow for air to get in enough to break up the surface friction. I wonder if such a thing would be practical on an outfeed?

[@tao6295]

Boeshield rust free also made my tool very dark. Not sure what’s going on. Would be nice if you can make a video about it.

[@rjtumble]

Thanks for the followup, looks like a great product. Looking forward to seeing how that wax turns out.

[@curtis.gallipo]

What brand of tablesaw and bandsaw are you getting?

[@stewartrizzi6779]

Surely we need to consider the freshly exposed timber (after passing across the cutter) may be leaving resin deposits on the out feed table which is going to create friction. Not sure that any product would improve this. I have found the outfeed is always an issue more so than the indeed for this reason. In effect - what is being left on the table (residue) rather than what is being removed (any coating applied)??
