So I got my "new" unisaw all taken apart and cleaned up. For removing the rust fromt he top/wings, I used one of these on my angle grinder:
Here's a before/after:
It ended up taking alot less elbow grease that I thought it would. I lubed all of the internal workings, bearing, worm gears, and machined surfaces with some 10W30. I bought 3 new belts from Autozone. Now I just need a 220 outlet...
There's still a little bit of rust on some of the internal parts, but none of it is anywhere that counts, namely in the middle of the up/down and tilt rods. I'm debating taking the whole trunion mechanism out and cleaning that up as well. As it is now, it goes through all it's movements smoothly, quitely and with little effort. (yes, this was a not-so-stealthy gloat:lol
