I've been cleaning/derusting/restoring a contractor table saw I got from junquecol's stash, and decided to give electrolysis a try. My setup involved two anodes which are 1/2" rebar zip tied to some old brake rotors I had lying around after I helped my neighbor change his brakes. The rotors have a lot of surface area and work great for this process. For the power source I used a 10A 12V Manual battery charger and washing soda as the electrolyte.
Here is the initial setup (I later added a second anode on the other side).
And here are the results (the left side hasn't been dunked yet but obviously the right side has):
I've got the entire table in the solution right now, hopefully I'll be able to finish up painting this weekend, reassemble this beast and start making sawdust.
