jointers.

Paraffin alone is not going to work at all well. Look for Johnson's
floor wax, Butcher's paste wax, Minwax wax, any hard furniture or floor
wax that is silicone free. Or use Boeshield T9 or TopKote (grocery
stores have the first two, woodworking supply houses have the last
three).

Nyet! No! Nicht! No, No, No! Silly Cone and many
finishes don't go together!
Waxilit, available from Lee Valley, is made
specifically for what the questioner asked for.
Comes in up to 55 gallone barrels for wood
mills. Also keeps glue from sticking to wood
and comes off with alcohol. On a cast iron
table it leaves a very slippery surface, even
"green" wood won't stick to it.
A little goes a long ways so don't order the
55 gallon drum.

I shave up paraffin wax with an old plane and dump it in a
bottle of mineral spirits. Shake it every day until it is
dissolved. I keep it in an old spray bottle. When it is
sprayed on metal and wiped with a paper towel and dries it
is slick and water resistant. I use it on my lathe ways,
jointer and table saw. Also good in lathe chucks and vise
screws as it doesn't attract dust. If the surface is dirty I
apply it with a green abrasive pad, wipe the grungy stuff
off and reapply as above.

An old woodworker uses chalk (or talcum) on a black board eraser. The powder
fills up the microscopic holes in the cast iron and not only does the metal
not rust, it is very slick.

When silicone attaches itself to the wood, (and everything else) it is very
difficult to remove. I have had trouble driving after using silicone sealer
at work. That is even after washing my hands with soap. Silicone on the wood
will mess up a finish.

Paraffin is not a "slippery" was. I'd use a good paste wax.

Not sure what you mean by "commercial"; Parrafin is a pretty commercial
product (I have my doubts you made it at home). Paste wax works pretty
well. For much "more commercial" product, Waxlit works very well.

rub the surfaces with a candle buffed in with baby powder in old
sock or one of mama's nylons. Watch out, it's going to be slick.

One of those curiosities: I have no doubt that paraffin does not work
well in this application, but it works exceedingly well on the soles of
planes. Hmm. Is it just the application problem? It tends to self-apply
on the sole of a plane.

The solution that I've seen most often recommended is a paste
wax (without silicone). Some say that furniture wax is preferable to
auto wax.
I recently ran across the web site of a model builder who
thinks that he gets much more "mileage" out of "3m Ultra Performance
Paste Wax." I haven't tried it, but the best price that I've seen is
on it is at this site:
http://www.eboatworks.com/ultra_performance_paste_wax.htm
There is also a spray on product called TopCote® Table & Tool
Surface Sealant, which carries the claim that "it is easy to apply and
lasts longer than paste wax and it will not stain wood." Again, I
haven't tried it but I've done a little checking and the best price
that I've found so far is Lee Valley:

You've already got good info. From a personal
standpoint, I use Johnson's Paste Wax on all tool
work surfaces. A can will last for waxing every
surface you have for 20 or more years. The only
problem I have, is that my work space is small so
I have to move my table saw frequently. Stuff
gets put on the table, and when I lift the rear
about 3 degrees to move it, everything goes
sliding off in front of the saw. It's not good
for some measuring tools to hit the concrete
floor, and stopping to up 5 or 6 boards is a pain.

I've had good results with paste wax (Johnson's, Liberon, Trewax,
etc...), Bostich Topcote, CRC's version of Topcote.
