Sooner, or later, as serious woodworkers, we need to know how clean saw blades.
Beginners often buy cheaper blades and run the heck out of them. Then they throw them away because they are dull.
In fact, they were probably dirty. Over time, pitch, sap, resin and “stuff” sticks to saw blades, router bits and drill bits, especially with pine and other soft woods. As it builds up, it starts to drag, and burn, baking the residue.
Keeping your tools clean will extend their life, and improve the quality of the cuts. Which leads to the question, how do I clean my saw blades, quickly, and safely?
