Jonathan, I’ve completed this table old saw rebuild and when using the glidecote, do you coat blades also? I have used wax, but just doesn’t seem to pull its weight as well on the cast iron top, those old ones weren’t polished like the new tables and I think that may have something to do with it. It’s not worth risking taking the flat out of the table to rid it all and sending it to be resurfaced defeats the purpose of rebuilding it to afford my new planer. I’m using those top end CMT Orange Combo, Rip and CC blades you just featured from Taylor Tools (thanks a bunch for the tip off in that sale and additional discount, I got 3 quality blades for the cost of just one Forrest or comparable 👍). I know that Bostik used to have a product called bladecote, but they went and redid all their branding at some point (probably while I was off killing bad guys 🤪). So what all is glidecote good for and is there a coating you’ve used that you recommend for blades and bits of all sorts? Semper Fi and keep it up brother.

Jonathan; great shows. I just recently purchased a used 10" King Tablesaw, and I am presently working on cleaning it up and throwing a set of wheels under it. It takes me a rather long time to complete such projects due to some rather serious upper limb injuries. I used to work with metal as I was a Blacksmith, welder, and did some basic machining for my career of 30+ years. Anyway, I purchased this amazing tablesaw for $100 as I am upgrading from a Canadian Tire brand 10" tablesaw, wow what a huge difference the King is over the Canadian Tire brand saw !

There is definitely some nuance to the surface cleaning process that I still don't understand. I applied vinegar and water and it removed the rust spots quickly but the entire surface rusted instantly before I could apply wax. I next tried it with the baking soda afterwards which helped, but still some corrosion formed before I could apply wax. Not to mention that the baking soda is pretty messy. A detailed video on just the surface cleaning process would be appreciated

That's pretty good Jonathan. A couple comments. I would check the runout on the saw arbor face flange. Its a good idea to clean the flange with some solvent as pitch will build up on it if you change blades a lot.. You like to have less than .001" runout on the flange. You should take the runout on the blade also and you would like have less than .004" as far out as you can take it. Its a good idea, because of runout to mark a tooth with a sharpie and use the same tooth for checking blade alighnment with your indicator. Cheers

Just thought of something for checking that the blade is square to the table when set at 90 degrees: the throat plate might not be perfectly flush to the table, and the part of the blade above the table is not very large for an accurate reading of squareness with the combination square. Why not remove the throat plate, then test for squareness the other way around, down in the well, with a try-square with the inside edge of the stock on the table and its blade against the saw blade (avoiding the hub, obviously)? That references the reading on the table and not the throat plate, and now we have ~8 inches of blade instead of 3 to measure squareness.
