[@thedevilinthecircuit1414]

You can do the exact same thing with sanding belts--especially the expensive type for thinkness/drum sanders. Remove the belt, roll it up, drop it into a tin can. Fill the can with a mixture of water and detergent (Simple Green works too) and allow it to sit overnight. Next day, roll it flat and scrub with a plastic brush. Rinse and allow to dry.

Nice to see someone offer a common sense approach to saw blades. I never thought to clean a saw blade with liquid laundry detergent. Thanks for the tip.

[@dkbuilds]

I’m glad the video was useful for you, thanks for watching!

[@BenLillegard]

I'm glad to see this info getting out there more. I used to work full-time at an Ace Hardware that provides sharpening services, and you would not believe the number of people that would bring in a TC tip blade to get sharpened and would get offended when I tried to help them save money by letting them know they only needed to clean the teeth.

[@dkbuilds]

That's awesome, thanks for sharing Ben!

Also seems easy money for profit to me. But i appreciate your care for customer service.

[@BenLillegard]

@ Customer Service is what Ace is all about (at least it should be, if you have an Ace store that does not treat its customers like that then they are going against the corporate culture and policies).

[@benjaminthomas2626]

The big problem also these days is people tend to want to act like they know more than they do, then take offence when you suggest something sensible. Then they like " you saying I'm stupid boy?!"

[@Nick-cs9dt]

@@benjaminthomas2626 there is a bigger problem with retailers thinking they know more than their shoppers, thats for sure. The number of times I go to a store and get told nonsense is getting annoying. Wood yards, building merchants, tool stores etc are the worst. Professional/expert set ups are a different matter of course.

[@royjohnson8722]

DK Builds, I just finished a project using old heart of pine flooring taking from a 150 year old Philly home. I used my table saw today and it would barely cut anything. Of course, I thought the blade was dull (maybe the ancient boards?) and jumped straight to thinking "sharpen". I clicked here and I'm so glad I did. Of course the blade was completely gummed up with tough pine resin and your solution worked perfectly to dissolve the resin. Just as advertised. THANK YOU. I likely would have just defaulted to getting a new blade. To your point, while the blade I have was more than two years old and used quite a bit for a non professional it was not "dull" at all. It's actually still very sharp, like new, and just needed cleaning. Great advice!

[@dkbuilds]

That's great Roy! I'm so glad I saved you some money on a new blade. I appreciate you watching and commenting!

[@adamqp]

Fellow Weekend Woodworker graduate -- love your videos and this one in particular. Great camera work on the blade teeth!

[@dkbuilds]

Awesome! Thanks Adam!!

[@garynelles]

Years ago the guy who sharpens my sawblades told me about a product called “super clean”. It comes in a purple spray bottle and it’s a degreaser found in the automotive section. It’s biodegradable and it works great. You just let it sit for a minute or two and use a soft brush just as you did in your video. I never thought about laundry soap working. I often use my slop sink or a bucket lid as well. Oh I almost forgot, these methods work great for router bits too!

[@dkbuilds]

Nice tip with super clean! I'm 100% on board with any cleaner that's environmentally friendly. And great tip with the router bits, mine DEFINITELY need a cleaning!

[@boblordylordyhowie]

Good tip, thanks. I saw another video where he turned the blade around on his saw and ran it, then used an oil stone to just touch the tips and because it is going backwards it doesn't snag.

[@dkbuilds]

That’s an interesting idea. I could see how it might work specifically for rip blades where all the teeth are flat, but it would basically destroy a cross cut or combination blade. An interesting strategy for sure though if you can do it safely!

You may be incredibly right, I had a dozen dull tungsten blades left over from when I retired from cabinetmaking, that was over twenty years ago. I have often thought off having at least a couple rehappened, but they keep on doing the job throughout my retirement, mainly cutting up tree branches, repairs, and odd projects. The next time I experience dulling under heavy work, I will tooth brush/detergent it right there on the radial arm saw. Thank you.

Great tip. I'll have to give that a try. I inherited my table saw from dad with about 10 different blades. I've struggled to figure out if a lot of the blades he bought were just well used or super cheap and not worth the steel they were made out of. I'll have to give them a cleaning and see if anything improves. Also never knew a 5 gallon pail lid fit a 10" blade so well.

[@dkbuilds]

[@dkbuilds]

Thanks Bradley! I appreciate the comment!

[@jasondoust4935]

This is a very good tip. If you're in a hurry, you can do this with Windex or any half decent surfactant, if you spray it on liberally and let it soak in for a few minutes, in the trusty paint bucket lid. Then, just like you did, rub it over with a dish brush, rinse, presto! Commercial cleaning supply places also stock some really good food grade degreasers, and a litre of this stuff with a spray trigger will do an awesome job, last a decade or more and is super handy around the garage.

[@dkbuilds]

Great tips thanks for sharing Jason!

[@AxGryndr]

I find an open top oil drain pan works well because the sides are higher than a bucket lid.

TSP is much better. Just mix the powder with water until it feels slick. Spray it on or use a bucket lid to soak it for 15min and a toothbrush takes it all off. I learned this from cleaning old juke box mechs from the 40 as they were litereally coated with cigarette tar. They come right back to new. TSP is Trisodium Phosphate and for the most part it was THE kitchen cleaner in the 40s to 60s. Also referred to as "painters helper" as painter use it to take the cooking grease off of kitchens before they paint. You can mix up a spray containg of this and leave it on the shelf for years.
