I've been using 3 n 1 oil on all my hand tools. My building is not heated, cooled or insulated yet (know this plays big factor). My older planes haven't been giving me no problem but my knew low angle jack has been trying to rust seems like every chance it gets. Ive been keeping it saturated with oil and its been helping and also been keeping in the house. I've seen lie Nelson sells some type of oil and I'm sure if that's what they recommend is got to be good. Does anyone use it if so how often, how much, etc
..I've also heard to wax them just like table saw tops and so forth. Is there one better than the other. Is there something you don't have to wipe off before use. I have a 2 1/2 and 4 month old so shop time is very limited. With that being said I try to take advantage of every little thing I can to get extra time building and less time with maintenance and stuff. But with that being said I know it's got to be done. Just like to not have to to do it as much. Thanks
