My antique is much lighter duty than yours, but has a 5 foot table about 3 inches thick, 20 deep.. The 2HP motor doesn't get warm even after hours of running. The homemade RPC is also a 2 HP motor. There'll be a warm spot on it.
Elbow grease? Try the rags, soda, angle & charger. Pulls the rust right out of the pits and leaves metal untouched. While it cooks you can be cleaning those gears and feedscrews...
Heh. I remember pulling the rag off and giving the ways a wipe and seeing some red. I did a double take, thinking it was more rust, but quickly discovered it was a reflection of the engine hoist behind me. It was that darn clean.
Found a picture of that and what it looked like before:
