Since I never get any saw dust on my knees (being a smart a*s )I light sand complete table w/ 320 grit flex DIY 4x5"pad till whole table shines brite, wipe with silicon sprayed Shamwow and dry w/ old tee shirt.fine sanding shows any miniscule protrusions and removes them for a truly slick surface ,residue from glue ,resin.tape & ?, always seems to add features unwanted to the table's surface.This removes them. My saw see's multi use and may not apply to most of you ! Waxing or W-D ing over any of that, this seems counter productive to me !
