    Another newbie question

    The surface of my tablesaw is beginning to look a little rough. What's the best way to restore that new table look? Would a light sanding be ok? Also, what should I put on it to protect it?:icon_scra (If this question doesn't prove my newbie status just wait. I'm sure I'll have more.):embaresse
