I’ve always heard about the virtues of cleaning you saw blade when you think it’s time to get it resharpened.
Well I finally did it and ended up with a blade as good as it was when new.
I wanted a environmentally friendly cleaner to do and decided to try the degreaser I use to remove the shipping grease that comes on new tools…
This stuff worked fantastic. I used a lid from a Homedepot 5gal bucket and let the blade soak for about 2 – 5 mins. I then only had to gently brush the blade with a brass bristle brush. I was amazed at how fast this stuff work with very little effort. I went on to clean some router bits which cleaned up just as good. Best of all this stuff dilutes with water and can be rinsed down the drain.
If I remember correctly the 1gal jug cost about $12.00. Well worth the price and worth a try.

Hello,

That must have hurt !
Take care,

OUCH !!!
Somehow, genital + brass brush shouldn’t be allowed in the same sentence !!!
Seriously, I know what you meant … just couldn’t resist poking a little fun at the way it was said …

Good catch…
I just became the victim of a spell checking curse… the red squiggly line disappeared so I moved on.
I was reading your replies while in a restaurant and almost broke out laughing.
I’ve since corrected it.
Thanks…

Thanks to your review, I bought some of this today. Hopefully it’ll clean my table saw and band saw blades real good.

I used to use the Rockler bit and blade cleaner until it became difficult to get. (I moved) Now, I use 99% Isopropyl Alcohol. Word of warning, don’t use a plastic container. I use an old coffee cup for router bits etc and an old frying pan for blades. I’m also going to try lemon oil and see how that does.
Have your say...
