There's an old Craftsman table saw in the basement of the building
my Dad had his office in. It's probably 30 years old, and never saw
much use. I'm trying to fix it up a bit to use it on occasion.

Rust:
The main table surface had a fair amount of surface rust, but hardly
any "bubbling". The "wings", if that's the right term were more
badly rusted around the edges, which had been bare metal.

Use any of the phosphoric acid based rust desolvers such as navel
jelly.

Sand with 150 grit and WD40.

Wipe clean and wax frequently until wax build up has happened.

Have fun.
