Scored this vintage german-made manual mitre saw on ebay for $50. I dissembled it and cleaned all the parts using mild soap mix applied with a toothbrush, rinsed off with clean water, toweled, and left to finish air drying. After all parts were bone dry, I went back in with fine steel wool and WD40 to clean off all the surface rust, then rag wiped on a light protective coat to prevent further rust damage. With the addition of a new blade, this tool is good as new & ready to be put to work.
