Cleaning rusty power tools?
June 1st, 2009 | by admin |leet asked:
I have inherited a collection of power tools including a jigsaw, two miter saws, a drill, a router and a belt sander. All but the router suffer from a mild to moderate case of rust. They are all still in fine working condition.

What is the best way to clean and polish them up for safe and proper use?

the brushes may need to be replaced if you turn any of them on and smell a burn. other than that, appearance means nothing. sandpaper or WD-40 with a rag will clean them up.

First you should wipe without rust and dust, then soak it with some used engine oil, rub it with some rag, then it will be okey. very simple it will be.
