Saw Top Cleaning

[Joe Scharle]

Can't believe none of us thought of that!
Since I topcoat with T9, I wipe the slurry up with paper towels and then remove all of the oil with acetone. Get the slurry out of the miter undercut too.

[Frank Trinkle]

Great! That makes a lot of sense.

Thanks to all who recommended BarKeepers Friend. That stuff works great!

I can find no BKF product named cleaner/polish. Many variations but as usual in BKF discussions, its still a secret(?). Anyone got a link to the SPCIFIC product being discussed?

OK.. to the folks that use Barkeepers Friend.

I have some now and it works very nicely! But... the question I have is if you use it in a slurry of 3:1 oil or WD40, what do you clean off the residual with before waxing? Damp water towel? Just wipe?

I use alcohol.

The one I use is the first on the left. A powder in a can. http://barkeepersfriend.com/BarKeepersFriend_powder.htm

I use alcohol.

Me too. But I don't waste it on the saw.

I use alcohol.

Mineral Spirits worked well for me - followed by Boeshield - then that followed by Johnsons paste wax

Check out this thread. The stuff is mineral spirits and mineral oil, according to info provided. Maybe it's the propellant thats so nasty?? http://www.sawmillcreek.org/showthre...60#post1156560
