Help!!! I just bought (super cheap) a Delta Industrial Table Saw. I works great but one small problem. The guy who had it last would cut work pieces that had been just glued. There is glue all over the table. It appears to be regular wood glue. Any suggestions on how to remove it without damaging anything?

Go get yourself a pack of razor blades and start scraping away. It's the easiest way to clean up a top.

I would think a paint scrapper might do the trick. If you are concerned about scratching the top, try a plastic scrapper. Wood glue should probably just pop off from a metal top with a little persuasion.

Gentle heating with a hair dryer or paint stripper may help soften difficult to remove bits.

If it's regular yellow wood glue, rubbing alcohol will soften it. DAMHIKT.
