Doing a little maintenance around the shop, decided to change the jointer b=
lades. 6 to 8 months ago, I had 2 sets of blades sharpened and rolled the=

I discovered all the blades have developed rust spots. I suppose the towe=

points of rust. There was no signs of any discoloring/blemishing on the o=

I have older sets of blades wrapped in regular paper towels and in brown pa=
per bags... no rusting on these.
I had planer blades sharpened at the same time as the jointer blades. Pla=
ner blades were stored in their designated cases. No rust on these, so wh=
atever caused the rusting didn't come from the sharpener.

Wish I had a shaving horse.
Use the blue ones all the time and no rust.
Probably moisture from the air.

You can only use the self leveling board once - then you are back to
needing the jointer - - -

It was moisture in the blue towel -if you oil the towel lightly first
the blade won't rust because with the oil there, it cannot absorb
moisture.

It may not be acid in the towels, rather that they're absorbing water
from the air. I had this problem with a pistol case. It had a canvas
spine that absorbed water and rusted the stainless steel along the top
of the barrel and back of the grips. Rust on a $1500 gun sorta pissed
me off.

I think I would agree, probably sweat. I have not seen an issue with
those towels, Scott blue shop paper towels, in 20+ years.
