What do you use to clean table saw blades?

[Jim Becker]

Kent, can you substitute good red wine for the beer??

[Kent Cori]

Jim,

Probably but it would likely take longer for the Simple Green to age properly.

BTW, are you the Charlie Mastro who was featured in "The Workshop Book" by Scott Landis?[/QUOTE]

Yes John that would be me....

I use oven cleaner on mine. After done I spray on a good bath of WD-40, wipe off excess and do one cut in a piece of scrap wood involving as much of the blade as possible. Works great for me.

Another vote for simple green. I have found that the lid from a 5gal bucket works verry well. It is just the right size for a 10" blade and the one I use has a raised ring that the blade sits on which keeps the teeth from touching the bottom of the lid. It doesn't require much simple green to cover the blade. I leave it in that solution about 5-10 at the most. I then take an old tooth brush and gently scrub the teeth. It works great!, no toxic fumes, no gloves, just rinse it, dry it and poar the simple green down the drain. Simple!!!!!

I use Simple Green and an old tooth brush. It works very well for me.

By the way this is my second post since I became a member. I don't think anyone saw my first.

Thanks,
Charlie

Charley, welcome to the Creek. I've been meaning to get up your way sometime and explore the country, perhaps will pay you a visit when the weather warms. Hope the new shop works out well for you. You might want to start a new thread to introduce yourself, I'm sure you will get a warm welcome. Sometimes when you tack on to an existing thread you may go unnoticed.
