Rust and corrosion can be like blight in your workshop…so taking proactive steps to seal and protect your tools is key in protecting the expensive investments you’ve made. A key aspect of those investments is top-quality sealants and lubricants. These products are important to seal and protect your tools (especially blades, table saw beds, drill bits, and more) from rust and corrosion, as well as reducing friction to prolong their life.

Let’s look at two of these products used to protect, seal and lubricate. Bostik makes these products. These woodworking lubricants make faster work of rip cuts, cross cuts, angle cuts, dado cuts and more, and extend the life of your tool and offer greater protection. After several applications these products will not have any build up and offer greater protection to make them consistently durable for everyday usage.Bostik® BladeCote
