I had this problem when I bought a used saw. I tried several different things on mine but was finally able to get it all off.

Depending how bad it is you can try a Mr Clean magic eraser. I found that they worked for light surface rust.

For the harder spots that I had on my table I had to use sandpaper, very fine grit.

I know I used a liquid as well it was either some WD-40 or paint thinner(can't remember) but it was to just clean it up.

Once i was done I put a couple of coats of paste wax on the table and have never had the rust come back.

I use naval jelly and fine steel wool to remove rust.  Then apply Johnson's paste wax.

WD 40 PROFESSIONAL SILICON SPRAY.

on my old saw I used 0000grade steel wool and johnstons paste wax, it took it straight off and when buffed afterwards,  it had done the two jobs in one - cleaned the rust and polished the table.

 ospho will turn it into iron oxide which never rusts if you want to try that way,they sell it at the auto partscstore or car paint store.Turns rust a nice black color.
