I purchased the complete kit from the manufacturer themselves…cost was around 350 Canadian shipped to the door. It comes with the cleanse, reconditioning oil, and pads for scrubbing. It worked amazing, removed all the rust and stains. I also applied 3 coats of everything. 1 year later and still looks awesome.
Using their "Reconditioning Oil" instead of the WD40 at the start would have helped to make the surface look better again. They recommend using with three different color scotch bright pads (abrasive levels) and I found it to be the best rust remover and stain remover of the many I have for cast iron.
Love this real review. I'm also curious if it'll turn my table saw into a youtube-sawstop... I wondered if it was really just a good cleaning that it is marketed well...
Once a year I'll sand mine by hand only moving front to back using 400 going up to 1000. It takes about an hour. Then, paste wax. I haven't noticed any measurable difference in flatness. It'd probably take 50 years to change its shape. My hands get blacker than coal, though.
@@ryandaywoodworking You'll never get back the factory look, so I wouldn't tackle it after only a year. At some point, though, it'll look bad enough that sandpaper is the only way out. I've just done it dry, but I like the WD-40 idea.
Yeah, the Harvey coating looks cool. I think Powermatic has something similar on some of their tools. It will be exciting for everyone once the SawStop brake technology is more widely available.

Ok, that’s great to know! I’ll try that next time. So far it seems to be holding up well to my abuse!

I really do hope it holds up!

I’ve always been a bit scared to use sand paper. Do you use anything to lubricate it?

In Florida I would say not worth the time and money I used it applied it properly and I was not impressed paste wax was better in my experience
Or just wait till the new harvey has sawstop technology
