I just bought a wood working table saw. Do not know where it was stored. The machined table top is full of surface rust. Thought about sanding but think I would rather apply something that will eat and remove the rust. ANY IDEAS!!! also should I put some thing on table top to prevent this from happening again even though I will be storing in dry shop?
THANKS!!!!! !

milkstone remover, orange in color is a very strong acid that eats rust, it can be purchased at any farm supply for $6 a gallon.

My tale saw was rusted like yours too. Been using some bowling alley paste wax. The wax will fill the pores and lets wood slide easy.

After cleaning, rub lightly with paraffin. Cleaning to bright metal all over will not be possible. Just get the red rust off.

I have been using silicone spray to lube the saw table and jointer tables. Makes wood slide nice and seems to prevent rust.

Hi Tom, you never had finish problems with your silicone spray? Major potential problem with most spray finishes.

I wondered about this too, but the wood I milled was mostly sanded pretty well before I applied any finish. Once in a while a "fish eye" in the paint on a piece of metal for no good reason, but that could have happened anyway.

Maybe I am wrong? But thinks I read someplace about coating with beeswax for storage? I might get corrected on this one.

I cleaned up a joiner top using LPS-1 and fine (white ) scotchbrite, then waxed the surface with paste CAR wax. A friend told me that furniture wax is not as good since it is hygroscopic. hope this helps.

For severe rust I'd use red scotchbrite, normally with WD40 for lubrication, on a vibrator sander. Wax is the best thing I've tried for preservation. Used both car and furniture wax and noticed no difference, other than the buffing. The pitting shouldn't bother the performance of the saw.

All good methods to remove the rust. Use butcher block or Johnson furniture wax. Auto wax has silicon in it, and will trash out stain finish.
Just FYI.

Depends on the wax, many do not contain silicone.

I live in Michigan and the rusting problem in a garage can be caused by parking a car in the building with ice on the underside of the car that has the road salt in it. Drops on the floor and melts. The cloride left on the floor will draw moisture and actually cause all the tools to sweat.
