Quick razor rust removal
Posted: Thu May 12, 2011 10:49 am
I just cleaned up my Mark V jointer table using this method and forgot to take pics, so I'm posting pics I already had to show the process. Nothing new, just some pics of a craftsman 103.22160 table(17"x 20") quick clean up. I've only used a razor a few times, works great, nearly no dust, good prep for speeding up the electrolysis(scraping only) process . Time spent: razor scraping 6 min., WD40 3min., acetone clean up 3 min., paste wax 3min. 15 min. total for a relatively clean and usable table. The jointer took about the same time, maybe a little less. If you haven't used this method and can live without a mirror finish on your machined cast iron try it, you"ll like it. I've used a random orbital sander with the scotchbrite and WD, this was a small enough job that I decided not to.
