I've had good success with fine scotchbrite and WD40/AC90/Duck oil or
other light oil spray. It seems to do a pretty good job of knocking
off the rust without affecting the metal. I find steel wool doesn't
last very long and leaves bits of steel wool everywhere which is a
pain to clean up.

Hello!
Last year there was a chance to acquire Biesse machine for a a really
low price so I surprised myself with pretty large and heavy Christmas
present. Just put it in the workshop (where heating is not yet
present) and was waiting for a warmer weather to start retrofitting it
with LinuxCNC.

I always use an India oilstone. It has a convex back for getting into
concaves and is straight and flat. The major advantage is that a fine
stone will remove the rust that extends above the surface. Never ever
scotchbrite or even worse sandpaper. Steel wool and oil work to remove
the corrosion from any pits but make cleanup hard as previously mentioned.
