My PointForm tool has rust on it. How do I clean it off, and how do I prevent it from rusting again?

The PointForm tool is manufactured from mild steel and has unprotected surfaces that require some maintenance. When you are finished using the tool, a thin coat of oil on the ground surfaces will help to prevent rust from forming. There is no need to coat any surfaces that are 'blackened'.

If rust has developed on the tool, it can be cleaned off using fine grit emery cloth or sandpaper.
