Table saw blade cleaner...?

Simple Green in the bottom of a 5 gal bucket. Using the lid would be easier I guess.

Just thought I'd pop back in since I just cleaned something. I usually clean cutters off at least somewhat right after use. This dado clean-out bit got put away grungy. I put a couple of squirts of L.A. Awesome in a pill bottle, toss in the bit and shake it up, let it set about a minute and rinse it off.

Which LA Awesome product do you use?

Do any of you use anything to protect the blade after youve cleaned it? Maybe to help prevent rust? Lubricant, oil, polish, etc?

So I squirted the blade's rim and teeth with ZEP's orange degreaser and let it sit for a few minutes then brushed it off with a fine bristle brass brush in the laundry tub, then rinsed the blade with warm water and dried it off. It worked as well as anything else I have ever tried. Very satisfied. All the blades I cleaned were either Freud red coated or otherwise coated blades. But as long as you rinse and dry the blade, I see no problem using it on a bare steel blade.

Mean Green and a brass brush.

The Yellow stuff. I see that they now make some orange stuff too. I know because dad bought some. It is NOT the same stuff ;-)

BTW, it cleans whiteboards like you can't believe.

I use arm and hammer washing soda. Mix with hot water. Let soak for five or ten minutes and brush off pitch with soft bissel plastic brush. Dry the blade and it looks brand new. Dump the solution down the toilet. Whole process takes fifteen minutes.
