Well throughout all this building of things (will post another project I just kinda finished), I've been using my grandpa's table saw in the basement. Of COURSE, now that I'm done working on stuff I want to clean and wax the table top Yeah should have done that before I started I know Anyway, I used one of those abrasive kitchen cleaning pads and wd-40 to scrub the rust off. Didn't work as great as I thought it would so I used the pad with Acetone after that. Didn't do much more. Now this thing was in pretty bad shape about 2 years ago because my grandpa left it in the shed one winter with no rust prevention actions taken. He cleaned it up write away, but I tried to clean it more, and although it did get a lot off, like I said not as much as I would have hoped. Is this thing just "as good as it gets" right now? Or would it be an absolutely crazy idea for me to take an orbital sander to it with a finer grit? It even sounds like a bad idea to me, but I didn't know if that was against the "rules" or anything? Or is there any other way to do this... with some super duper cleaning product? Thanks in advance for your ideas
