Tomorrow will get the first of the table saw disassembly when I remove the trunions. I plan on putting all of the cast iron parts in the electrolysis bath and then giving them a coat of paint to last a lot of years.

I use mineral oil on all my rustables it works much much better than car wax.
A good ISO 32 or 46 hydraulic fluid works just fine.
It will creep into every crack and crevasse, and put it on your threads when you put stuff back together.
It also makes the wood slide across the surface like greased lightning.
And there is no worries about it getting in the wood and staining it.
I used a brand new flat Norton India stone to surface the top of my saw then polished with 600 grit and oil on a flat board.
Can you tell us the model number of the saw.
