[QUOTE="GrizG, post: 7677837, member: 143389"] I've used WD-40 on my fine woodworking tools for decades with no ill effects. I spray the tools and then wipe them off to remove the excess. For "smooth" tools like try squares and back saws I spray a shop rag or paper towel and wipe the tool down. I avoid spraying wooden handles on tools (e.g., hand plane totes, spoke shave handles). Like with wax on hand plane soles, the WD-40 tends to wipe off the tool early in the stock prep and any initial contamination to the wood is removed via planing, scraping and/or sanding. I also wipe down the tables of my stationary tools and tailed hand tools. The cast iron tables receive a coat of paste wax also to aid in moving stock and to add some protection. [/QUOTE]
