I have these 5C collets that are in this wooden box that my Dad made for me.
The collets were over $2,000, and I want to protect them from moisture. I understand that wood can absorb moisture.
I live in Norcal, and these are in my 2 car garage. The temperature in the garage is always between 35-100° F. The weather here is very mild year round.
I am inclined to slather all of this wood inside & out with (way?) oil. The other choice could be paint. Whatever will protect the collets.
This collet box/table is right next to my welding table where a lot of stick welding occurs, & I throw a sheet over it while welding.
