My SawStop table saw has developed some small rust spots on the rear of the table. This came from rain blowing through the turbine vent in the garage roof. When I discovered it, I cut a sheet of 1/4" plywood to cover the top when I am not using it. From Stumpy Nubs Woodworking Journal, I found this video:
How you can DAMAGE your table saw top - Removing rust!
He offers these tips:
- Do not be too aggressive. Deep scratches are pockets where rust can begin.
- Use an orbital palm sander to speed the work.
- Use Naval Jelly. The batch I have seems dry. Will add water a bit at a time.
- Use WD-40 while sanding
