What do I use to clean the table of my scroll saw? I am new to scroll sawing and bought a used one with some rust on the table. Thanks

Naval Jelly will clear the rust. You can take some steel wool and wd40 to it. There are many ways to clean it.

Caution naval jelly can pit the table. Use WD-40 with a scrub pad to clean the table. Then wax the table to prevent it from rusting again.

Either a Scotch Brite Pad or fine Steel Wool and WD-40. After you get it clean and the rust removed use a rag with some Mineral Spirits to remove any oily residue. Let dry, then you can use Johnson Paste Wax to help prevent rust and make the wood slide when cutting.

I read a tip recently about using a scotchbrite pad under a random orbit sander to clean saw tables. Sound logical to me.

Thanks for the replies. The scotchbrite and wd40 worked and with the johnsons paste it is slicker than a babies bottom! Thanks Russ!
