How-To
Quick Tip: Use Pumice to Remove Rust
Dec 11, 2008
I’ve used steel wool to remove rust from my saw table, but it’s slow going. Finally, I tried a block of pumice, the kind used to clean grills. It works perfectly and quickly. Use only the fine grade. The medium and coarse will scar the table.

Craftsman Random Orbit Sander
While this sander is among the least expensive models in the test, its performance ranks among the best. The stock removal was excellent, and dust collection was solid when used with a vacuum. It handles really smoothly, too, and has a tall body that fit my hand nicely whether I was holding it from above or around the waist.
Festool Cleantec CT 26 E HEPA Dust Extractor
The clear winner here is Festool’s CT 48 Dust Extractor. It has amazing capacity relative to its size, and unmatched suction power. It packs in a number of subtle but very helpful design touches, like a clever foot brake and easy hose and cord storage.
Milwaukee M12 23-Gauge Cordless Pin Nailer
This tool is designed for convenience. The battery and pins are easy to load, and the safety lock operates with the same finger you use to pull the trigger. The depth of set is adjustable, there’s a work light, and there’s a hook for hanging the tool on your toolbelt. A gauge lets you keep track of when you’ll need to recharge.

Sandflex sanding blocks made from silicone carbide work great and they are pretty cheap when you consider how long they'll last. I took my table saw from sad to almost new in no time. do a web search you can buy it lots of places
