I know that a lot of different ideas have been presented to keep your finer tools from rusting. My shop is not sealed up all that well and not air conditioned. When the weather gets "balmy" here in central Virginia everything sweats. I can control it fairly well on my larger machines but my measuring tools, spare chucks and things like that are a different matter. I found a solution you might want to try. I got a refrigerator from the junk yard (free) and added two more racks. The seals were still in excellent shape I guess the compressor just gave out. I put a container of that stuff they use to keep boats dry in the bottom. It works really well. I have my eyes open for another one now that it worked so good. I will then have one beside the lathe and one beside the mill.
