Hopefully this weekend, I'll get that taken care of. Luckily, it has
very little rust, only what has accumulated over 20 years from normal
air moisture and lack of use and is more a discoloration than rust.
I'll use a fine steel wool to take that off and use the wax. It has
given me much good service in the past and surely will in the future
and deserves to have some tender loving care.

If it's smooth, and not rusty, there's really no reason to scrub it
aggressively. Bright and shiney really doesn't cut any better, with saw
tops.

Sharp blades, and well aligned fences count for a lot more.

That's where I'd spend my time.
