I have cleaned the rust on the casting with Evaporust and great ammount is just bare metal. The rails & Screw were cleaned with a wire wheel removing most of the rust. As seen on pics this specific model seems to have a taper from side to side as shown in pictures. Not sure if that is part of the design but I used a straight edge and the casting is flat so no problem there.
If this is an issue for you, it can easily be fixed by making the wooden face plates with a slight taper and that solves it. Please Choose the best rate for you.
