Hello,
I always like to start of posts saying that I'm pretty new to woodworking. I'm trying to clean up the top of a friend's Grizzly jointer. I thought it had rust all over it, but I'm not sure if it's really rust - as its all black. I've sprayed it with lots of WD 40 Rust Release, and then tried medium steel wool, those green scrubbing pads (scotch rite?). I bought a 150 grit nylon cup brush and used my drill. I used my ROS with the green pads. I tried Barkeeper's friend as well. Nothing seems to be working. Whatever these spots are, they are raised..so the bed of the jointer isn't smooth at all. I think bed is the right term :)
