I realized I've never waxed the trunnions, so I did that as well. Since I have a dark-ish garage I took a paint pen and highlighted the trunnions and the miter gauge so I don't have to stoop and squint.
The conventional wisdom is not to wax the tronuions since they are supposed to hold the table. I wax mine and they hold the table just fine but when I want to move it it moves just fine.
