Wax?

Also don't apply too much. Just makes it harder to buff. I have been using the same can of wax for 10 years and I am about half way through the can.

I guess that would mean the extra can I have is probably another "life time supply". I too have wax left in my first can which was given to me by the guy, at the Dallas Fair, who sold me my Mark V and SPT.

How often do you wax?

How often do you wax?I don't have a real firm schedule for cleaning and waxing but I would say I wax no less than 6 times a year.

I clean out the headstock any time I do any heavy work or if I make more than a few cuts in MDF. That stuff gets deep into everything.

I usually clean and wax after every project. And maybe a couple times while it's going on. Like when I start getting black marks on the wood. I'll wax it when I'm done for the day and let it dry overnight before I buff it out.

OK beeg, what branch were you in?

I wax not as often as I should, but that said; I wax whenever I find wood is no longer sliding as easily as before - OR - when ever black marks appear on the work piece(s).

I use my shop and Shopsmith about 250 days of each year and use a can of wax about once a year. So the direct answer to you question is "often".
