Hello Everyone, My jointer table has some rust spots on it, and a little bit of black discoloration. How can I clean it off, an what do I do to protect it in the future? Thank you. Jeff |

Naval Jelly, steel wool and elbow grease. Mist it with wd 40 to keep it from happening again. Wipe it down with a little Naptha on a rag befoe you use it and the oil won't get on your wood. -C |

pin a scotch bright pad under your RO sander and it will make quick work of cleaning up the bulk of the table. I read this in FWW and it is a very good trick. |

I use Johnson's paste floor wax on mine to keep the rust from coming back. Makes things slide across the table a little easier too. |

When we moved two years ago, the moving truck was put on a train and sent across the country. Well, the trailer of the truck had some sort of leak because we had a lot of things that were water damaged. Including my table saw and jointer. So I just put a 120 sheet on my ro sander and went to town. Making sure that I didn't chase one little spot but worked the whole area as to keep it all level and true. Worked very well. Then I slathered it with Johnson's paste wax and as said before, things slide much easier. I rewax about once a month now. |

I have always just used a random orbital sander with fine grit to buff out the spots of rust and discoloration then follow with paste wax in very small amounts. This will not alter the flatness of the jointer bed enough to effect the joints straightness. Hope this helps! Tom |

I've just startd using TopCote. I'm very pleased with it so far. It works well and doesn't stain the wood. |
