Thanks everyone for all your good ideas. I used 'cleaning' grade vinegar (Applemans). Soaked it for about 3 hours [don't think it needed that much time just forgot about ;-)]. Used Turtle wax on it so I might have to 'sand' the wax off...silicone....but the formic and such ideas are well taken. Again Thanks

'Preciate the input...your probably right...I've already used the vinegar to clean the heavy Rudy off. The top is stable as far as visible rust [so far ] So I will takeep your advice for the mineral oil. Also I should mention the rabble is very ruff already....I can see the milling marks on it. This is a Delta 15" model 40-170. Obviously a beginners light use saw. [i'm not even sure it runs yet!] I read about retooling a table with something like birch plywood. ..maybe paint it for 'posterity' [still chuckling here] and put a top on it? Yea? Nay?

I have been given a scroll saw by a friend to put into "active storage"for her adult daughter. [i can use it all I want]but I had to recover the table which was covered in rust [vinegar works wonders] now I would like to know if I could paint it to prevent further rust.I've got about 6 coats of auto paste Wax on it and I'm still pulling up the fine rust. I thought of getting it clean and then painting it with rustoleum paint [one that binds with rust to take care of the immediate problem then with a white finish to leave a smooth coat. Yea? Nay? Any other ideas? Thanks for your time
