First, I live in Las Vegas. Yes, we do have rust here. But only the surface variety. That said, I leave my band saw and drill press outside. They are usually covered, but have gotten a light coating of surface rust. Every once in a while, I clean it off with an electric wire brush, and it looks good for a while.
Is there anything I can spray on there to keep the nice bare metal look? Some sort of clear spray?

I use Sheath on guns and machines. I buy it by the gallon from Brownell's. BTW the name has changed to "Barricade", great stuff. Tom
Do you find that it works better than boiled linseed oil? It smells like boiled linseed oil to me, maybe thinned with a solvent.
This stuff works pretty good for me.

Here's one where they didn't like T-9:
