I was just cleaning a saw today that I picked it up a few weeks ago and didn’t have time to clean. So before hanging it up in the shed I wiped it down with a product that is orange oil and paste wax combined and just left it heavy on the saw. This was only to keep it from getting worse before I got around to it (my storage area is a little cool and humidity is very high this time of year). The first step I take in cleaning a saw is to scrape it down with a blade from a box knife. This gets the first layers off and is mainly to save on sand paper. To my amazement the rust came off much easier. Instead of a crust with the consistency of concrete it had noticeably softened. I am thinking any oil would do this and that the wax is not necessary. The only caveat is to wipe down the saw after scraping with something that will take the oil/wax/rust goo off so that doesn’t clog the sand paper. I’ll have to experiment with this a little more.
