"New" Table Saw #2: Begin Rust Removal

Looks like fun.
I usually just take my sander to the top (evenly) and then wax up the metal after it is nice and shiny.

Looks like an old Craftsman… try a wirebrush and CLR. Let the CLR sit a while, use a wirebrush to work it in. Wear rubber gloves.

I always use wet/dry sand paper on an old sander that I do not intend to use on wood anymore. I start with emry cloth and work my way down to 400 grit and spray WD-40 on the area I am working. It has worked every time. You are making progress: keep it up.
