That can be really frustrating when you work so hard to keep your machines clean and they rust up on you. I added some water to my coolant by just pouring it into the mill one evening and didn't run the coolant pump after and in the morning I had a light coat of rust on my vise and table... boy I was pissed till I got it all cleaned off with my scotchbrite pad...
I do a couple of things to ward off rust on my machines. I have a wood burning heater that keeps the shop dry and I use LPS 3 on bare metal surfaces when not in use.
