I have a few old blades I only use to cut scraps, but last week I cleaned the gunk out of the sharp edges carefully, and they seem to be working much better, I actually cut white oak yesterday with a very used old blade and noticed no burn marks at all. 4o tooth combo blade. I used bug and tar remover, the blades were just coated with guck from pressure treated, ipe, and it seems it all cleaned out nicely. The bug and tar stuff is what I use on my car..
Can I use some kind of chemical cleaner on my blades that have coatings on them?
The red ones from freud, the freud avanti has some other kind of coating.
Will a little gasoline or bug and tar remover damage the blade or its integrity?
I really never thought a clean blade would make a big difference, but I believe it improved things a bit, and I want to clean all my blades, they are all very well used.
does freud or one of the other blade companies make cleaners?
