From the Manufacturer
Billing itself as the "Industry's Best-Kept Secret For Shop Lubricants Since 1939," Boeshield T-9 is a solvent and paraffin wax formula developed by Boeing Aviation for long-term metal protection. It can be used on all tool surfaces where sliding, lubrication, and protection are needed. Boeshield T-9 penetrates into metal pores, displaces moisture, and dries to a thin film that will protect equipment for months. Since it contains no silicone or Teflon and dries completely within a few minutes, it will not pick up on wood surfaces or interfere with subsequent finishing. You'll also get Rust Free, an easy-to-use cleaner for removing stains and surface rust that can be used on steel, cast iron, stainless, fiberglass, chrome, tile, and more; and Blade and Bit, which removes resin, gum, and pitch, and can be used on saw blades, router and drill bits, knives, planer blades, tool tops, and cutting tools. Your three-piece package contains an 8-ounce Rust Free pump spray, 12-ounce T-90 aerosol, and 8-ounce Blade and Bit. Cannot ship by air.
Customer Reviews
T-9 good, rust remover scary
The Boeshield T-9 is a great product. Yes, it's sticky, but it even says on the instructions to rub it off quickly for a smooth surface. It contains a thin paste wax, so if you buff it a little it's even smoother. I haven't had a problem with it.
The rust remover is a whole different thing. Yes, it removes rust some, not great, but some. However, it contains phosporic acid which will stain iron if used in small amounts. If you have a leak in your bottle (like me) and you set the bottle on your table saw, then it will literally eat pits into the cast iron table and react to form some funky crusty black iron oxide stuff that is really hard to clean off.
My recommendation, buy the T-9 and hide the rust remover from yourself before you really damage something.
A decent product for a reasonable price.
I've used other products that either were way over priced for little bitty bottles, or had chemicals that the epa should check out! They were not nearly as good as this line either. If you maintain the surface with the spray after you clean it the first time, you won't have any rust even when Bubba comes to visit and rests both his sweaty hands on your table saw top while he talks...
The lube spray goes on easily and leaves a really friction free surface without residue.
Some Good, Some Bad
I have a mixed option about this kit.
I purchased it to remove a couple of rust spots from my table saw top. The rust remover works great. I did have to use it twice. It had the bad effect of changing the color of the table saw top to a darker grey (OK who cares). I also sprayed some on the ruler for setting my fence, and it crinkled it up, and now the ruler is hard to use (OK, I should have thought of that and not over sprayed). Over all this part did the job and I should give it 5 stars.
I use the blade and bit cleaner to clean resin from my router bits and table saw blades. That works well. However for table saw blades it is not much better than washing the blade warm water with Dawn dish soap. (and then drying the blade and spraying it with WD 40). I am uncomfortable washing my router bits with bearings. So I like the product for them. I would give it 4 stars.
The Boeshield is OK. It could be used to coat a metal product for long term storage. If all you want to do is protect the cast iron top of a wood working tool, you would be much better off just using a furniture paste wax. For my application, I give Boeshield 1 star.
