CMT CMT 998.001.03 Formula 2050 Blade & Bit Cleaner, 1 Gallon Plastic Jug

Excellent cleaner for all of my blades. It left the blade very clean and looking like new.

This works so well on saw blades! On my Forrest blade I had dried dish detergent, and when that didn’t work very well, I tried oven cleaner, and sealed the blade in a plastic box and put it in the sun for a few hours. It still took a lot of scrubbing with a tooth brush to get the teeth clean. The blade in the photos came with my used saw, and was in serious need of a cleaning, but I was avoiding it. It would have taken forever to scrub each tooth on this blade the way I had on my general purpose blade. After leaving this high-tooth-count plywood blade in this cleaner for an hour, all the gunk rinsed right off with hose spray—no scrubbing required. . I got this blade cleaner after watching a YouTube on restoring rolls of drum-sander sandpaper that had burned in stripes on them by putting the roll in a mason jar and soaking it in blade cleaner overnight. That had mixed results. It worked well on some brands, but others, while clean, kinked and curled into a mess when drying. I had both ends of the sandpaper held down with pieces of railroad track that I use when I need to hold things down—so it wasn’t just that I let it dry without trying to keep it flat. The roll that didn’t curl up looks almost new, although I haven’t tried it yet. For the sandpaper, I’m not sure the trouble was worth it- but that’s not what is made for. For saw blades with burned-on gunk on the teeth, it’s a big thumbs-up.

This is the second time purchasing this product to clean 10" Table Saw blades at our company. The first bottle lasted over 2 year and that is taking into account that we cut lumber quite regularly and reuse the blades after cleaning them. Most blades last about 3 - 4 times after they are cleaned. This saves us both time and money and keeps our business running smoothly. Usually I soak the blades for about 20 minutes in the solution then clean it after gently with a small steel brush, the "gum" and hardened sawdust comes right off. There are times when I have to leave it for about 20 minutes more soaking in the solution but thats rare. This product is a life saver. Before this I used to spray WD-40 on the blades and then clean them manually using a wood chisel, which would take ages. I'm glad I found this. Thumbs up to the company! :)

The way to keep, it clean.

Dirty saw blades don't cut smooth and straight and can burn the wood. Use the to clean your saw blades instead of sharpening them.

Was skeptical about what this product said it could do. Received the item, followed instructions. And I was happily surprised it did a great job of cleaning up my drum sander adhesive. Now I'll need to reuse the clean roll and see how it holds up back on the drum sander.

I’ve used this CMT product for a decade or so and wouldn’t even try a different product. It softens tight gum and pitch in seconds on cast iron tables, aluminum fences, bandsaw blades and tires, Laguna guide blocks and as a bonus………an excellent cast iron table preservative against corrosion. Takes very little from a spray bottle to clean a lot making it a great value. At the end of the day I simply mist all the cast iron and Leave it alone for a night, week or what ever. Same with molding knives, shaper and router cutters. Terrific Product

Cleans the pitch from saw blades very well. There's a 24 hour soak time but the pitch has been on some blades for decades.

produit conforme mais en bidon de 5litres pour ce prix (74€) une affaire !!

Produkt ist okay. auf anforderung keine rechnung möglich. das hatte ich leider noch nie. wenn ich ein produkt kaufe, erwarte ich auch eine rechnung dafür zu bekommen. dort werde ich nicht nochmal kaufen.

On connaît cette marque, on est rarement déçus. C est d'une efficacité redoutable. Un gain de temps vraiment très appréciable aussi. Il s uffit de laisser agir, de frotter et d essuyer, et le tour est joué. Bon, après, il ne fait pas non plus attendre des miracles à vouloir retrouver votre lame de scie sous table comme au premier jour alors qu'elle n à pas été nettoyee depuis ans hein ... Mais pour le reste, pour un entretien suivie et régulier, je ne peux que vivement recommander, sans hésiter. J espère que ce commentaire vous aidera dans votre choix

Bought spray bottle version previously to try this product...now that i have no more of it left, i bought more, being this bigger version. Comes in a blue non-seethrough container, not like as shown in this description, not that it makes any difference to the actual product.

Bonjour à tous donc le produit marche très bien très efficace même lame bien encrassée la seule chose à faire attention c'est qu il faut avoir une paire de gant caoutchouc sinon le produit pique un peu les mains mon encien ne le faisait pas et côté prix c est pareil que l autre mais pas à me déplacer ..Bonjour à tous
