Summary:
This video is about how to clean and maintain a table saw top.
The host, Brandon, starts the video by showing his table saw top, which has some rust and spots on it. He says that he wants to clean it and also do some preventative maintenance to keep it from happening again.
The first step is to remove the throat insert plate and lower the blade all the way down. Brandon then recommends unplugging the table saw for safety.
He starts sanding the table saw top with 600 grit sandpaper. He finds that this isn't taking off enough of the rust, so he moves down to 400 grit sandpaper. He warns that you don't want to go too low with the grit, because you can scratch the top of the table saw.
He tries 320 grit sandpaper, and then 220 grit sandpaper, but he is still not able to get all of the rust off. He decides to move on to the rest of the table saw top and clean the stains.
He uses mineral spirits to clean the table saw top, and then applies paste wax to seal the metal and create a surface for the wood to slide across easily.
He lets the paste wax dry for 5-10 minutes, and then buffs it off with a dry cloth. He recommends reapplying the wax once a week to keep the table saw top in good condition.
The video ends with Brandon showing that the table saw top is much cleaner and smoother now. He says that it is important to maintain your tools, and that this is an easy way to do it.
