My polymax was acquired used and some light surface rust has form on the cast iron table, What's the best way to restore the table finish so it may be waxed.

Has using beeswax on blades gone out of style because something better has come out.

The bellows is missing, I plan on using one of my <1/4 HP diaphragm compressor, which cost 1/2 the replacement bellows price, will this work? I'm wondering about condensation on humid days?

I plan on cannibalizing cheapo LED flashlights, convert to AC power. for tool work-lights. Is there a better option that provide their bright light.

The Hegner arms have lube holes would injecting grease be a better option than oil. I use synthetic lubes except for oiling there I prefer chainsaw oil for it's clingfilm lubrication, rust inhibitors, and heat resistance.

I'm toying with the idea of using auto 12 volt squirrel cage blower as a mini dust collector for scroll saws in lieu of vacuum or dust collector. Since the saw dust is fine it shouldn't damage the cage. Then route discharge into a 5 gallon pail filled with 2" of water like the old Rexair vacuums.

Has anyone developed a way to calibrate blade tension so repeatable settings can be duplicated aka band saw tension gauge?

My saw's paint has some battle scars what common paint matches?

Finally, has anybody used a stroboscope to troubleshoot vibration reduction. I did this quite successfully while working on several printers, compressors, and motors.

Thanks
