After a 3 hour soak in apple cider vinegar, a scrub with a brass brush, rinse with warm water and a good shot of WD40 to prevent flash rust.

More work to be done, but well on the way to be a productive tool again.
Oh, how so high they fly........ only further to fall.

In fact I think gunsmokin might need to borrow it. He was complaining about varying thickness of some ply he was using! :llama:

Tried with varying results. I've done cheap to expensive and safe to caustic. Vinegar has done the best across the board. It's safe, cheap and easy to dispose of.

I been using my wet tumbler with steel pins to clean some reloading gear that rusted up real bad, and it did great, you cant tell it was ever rusted, works equally well on a silver necklace my wife had.

Silly person! Everybody knows you can't use a #2 plane for plywood! A belt sander is the right choice in that situation...:-)
