Hi,
A few hours ago I posted a question about removing rust from a 1986
Craftsman table saw.
Well, I also got a band saw and a jointer... sorry.
The body of the band saw (I'm guessing it's made of steel, but maybe
something else) is covered with a substance that has has the consistency
of rust except it's completely white. It comes of completely with the
help of a wire brush. What is this stuff?
Thanks again,
Aaron
Im trying to remember but I think they may have had some die cast
parts. My father in law had a shop full of old Craftsman power toolsf.
I got a couple of pieces but he sold his band saw and joiner.
