band saw and a planer
For more penetration, heat kerosene or lamp oil in a double pan, and
grate a moderate amount of candle wax into it. Too much, and it will precipitate out again when cooled. A slight sludgy effect is what I like.

Where it matters, I wipe it down to a thin coat and polish. It prevents most rust and doesn't seem to transfer to the wood. Warm iron is better -- it penetrates the pores. The only gotcha is that I usually wait until after the first coat of rust and then have to clean that off before waxing.

I would like to add that most of the time these tools are not used. During the course of one year most hobbyists will use their power and hand tool an average of 50 to 200 hours. The biggest problem with the cast iron machinery's is to remove the rust from the surface table. As for the Delta 12½" planer I have one. Last year it was completely refurbished under legal warranty. Delta paid the total cost. They advised that this planer was designed for finishing work. With the amount of work I do (about 300 to 600 4/4 board foot per year) they advised me that I would be better served with a bigger machine. "Roger Derby" wrote in message ink.net... When I have no clue as to what constitutes a "good" tool, I buy the cheapest, or sometimes the cheapest per pound. After I've figured out what it won't do, and what features I really hate, then I go looking for a better one. Many times I find that the cheapest does 90% of what I want and all of what I really need. Pride of ownership is a factor only you can judge, but I often don't use my Starrett square for fear of damaging it. The old Sears Dunlop isn't that far out of square. If you're in a money making business with tool depreciation and labor costs as significant accounting factors, then my approach isn't proper. I'm quite happy with my Craftsman 12" bandsaw. It's quiet and quite user friendly. No, it will not rip straight lines without a lot of windage, some of which is user skill and blade sharpening, but my wife isn't afraid of it and it will whack a cardboard box or plastic milk jug down to size in moments. I've also gotten a lot of mileage from my Delta 12½" planer and have no plans to replace it. Just another view.
