Paraffin helps your rip fence glide smoothly
The metal parts of a ripping fence and the rail on which it rides can stick, making it difficult to position the fence exactly as you want.

Rub a paraffin bar along the rail as shown above to apply a thin coat of wax, which allows the fence to glide smoothly along the rail. You can purchase paraffin at most grocery stores.
