I am just starting my woodworking activities and am worried about humidity in my shop. Is using a desiccant to prevent rust/corrosion on router bits safe. I am concerned about the effect on the carbide edges.

Welcome. For rust protection, get Boeshield. It's what Boeing uses to prevent rust and corrosion in aircraft parts. Very easy to apply and lasts a very long time. Available at Amazon. I live in a low humidity area during summer, but sometimes moist in winter. One application has lasted years. Not expensive and it doesn't affect your finish either. View attachment 402438
Thanks Tom. I am in South Carolina and the shop is an outbuilding, no heat or AC. I believe this is a fantastic solution.
