Empire Manufacturing - TopSaver Rust Remover
TopSaver's rust removal solution requires some elbow grease, but it works.
Jun 01, 2005
TopSaver may be familiar if you’ve been to a woodworking supply show. I tested the product on a rusted shaper tabletop. It took a couple of applications, and I had to scour the surface vigorously with the abrasive pads supplied, but I was able to remove most of the surface rust. A kit with scouring pads, towels, and an 8-oz. bottle of TopSaver sells for around $20, and you can also buy it by the gallon for $130. TopSaver is available at woodworking supply stores and directly from the manufacturer.

Tite-Mark Marking Gauge
These gauges can be easily and precisely adjusted with one hand, which allows you to set the tool while holding a ruler or workpiece in the other. The quality is exceptional, and all have sharp cutters that offer great visibility.
Estwing Dead-Blow Mallet
A quality dead-blow mallet that packs and punch but isn't too heavy for furniture work.
Sawstop Miter Gauge
It has a toothed angle-setting rack that is extremely solid, accurate, and easy to use, and it offers all of the features I love in a miter gauge, including the ability to add an auxiliary wood fence, and a flip-stop that will accommodate it.
