I have a 16ga sheet of cold rolled mild steel that I lay on top of a sheet of MDF to tack up projects. It rusts fairly quickly. Just wondering what the easiest way to remove the rust is without taking away too much material. I've used my angle grinder with a 60 grit flap disk but found that a bit too aggressive.
